Overview

  • The Secretaría de Hacienda, through the UIF, Procuraduría Fiscal and CNBV, blocked bank accounts of Hernán Bermúdez Requena along with those of his companies, partners and relatives.
  • The Secretaría de Gobernación suspended gambling operations tied to Bermúdez’s family to cut off illicit funding through gaming enterprises.
  • The asset freeze was based on a UIF analysis of unusual financial operations, atypical bank transfers and possible tax-simulation schemes aimed at laundering cartel proceeds.
  • Bermúdez Requena remains at large under an active February arrest warrant for organized crime, extortion and kidnapping and is sought via an Interpol red notice.
  • The coordinated action forms part of a broader federal drive to disrupt corruption and cartel infiltration within public security structures.
