Overview

• The PAN formally filed criminal charges with the FGR against PT Deputy Ricardo Mejía Berdeja for alleged electoral offenses, security negligence, corruption and organized-crime collusion.
• Ricardo Mejía Berdeja denied all accusations, pledged to file counter-complaints for false charges and accused Coahuila’s governor of protecting Sinaloa Cartel-linked officers and running a Saltillo real-estate cartel.
• Morena’s National Commission of Honor and Justice suspended ex-Tabasco Security Chief Hernán Bermúdez Requena’s party rights with expulsion proceedings under way as he remains a fugitive under an Interpol red notice.
• Military authorities reported that Bermúdez fled Mexico via Mérida to Panama, Spain and Brazil, intensifying an ongoing international manhunt.
• Morena’s parliamentary group has proposed a special commission to probe a PAN-linked Saltillo “cártel inmobiliario” but declined to convene a similar inquiry into Bermúdez’s alleged crime ties.
