Overview

• Ulises Pinto Madera was detained in Jalisco by Navy, Sedena, FGR and SSPC forces and remains in federal custody in Mexico City pending judicial consignment.
• A federal judge granted Pinto a de plano amparo banning his incommunicado detention, torture and other ill-treatment by authorities.
• PAN vice coordinator Noemí Luna lodged a criminal complaint accusing López of organized-crime ties through his appointment of alleged La Barredora leader Hernán Bermúdez as Tabasco security chief.
• Prominent Morena figures, including Manuel Espino, have publicly demanded López’s removal as Senate majority leader as the scandal unfolds.
• The FGR continues to expand its La Barredora probe even as López denies prior knowledge of Bermúdez’s links and the ‘Dato Protegido’ media dispute over TEPJF’s apology order persists.
