Overview
- María Elena Pérez-Jaén submitted the request to the Chamber of Deputies’ Secretaría General seeking López’s removal, up to 20 years’ disqualification, and the opening of any warranted criminal cases.
- The complaint alleges that during his 2019–2021 governorship López tolerated or protected criminal networks in Tabasco, particularly La Barredora, through then–security chief Hernán Bermúdez.
- Pérez-Jaén says the evidence relies largely on 30 official reports publicized by Guacamaya Leaks.
- She filed the action in her capacity as a citizen and said she will return Thursday to ratify it, with the petition now awaiting congressional processing.
- In related proceedings, Bermúdez remains in federal custody at the Altiplano under pretrial detention on charges of asociación delictuosa, extortion, and express kidnapping, while President Claudia Sheinbaum said there is currently no evidence incriminating López.
