Sheinbaum Rejects Probe of Senate Leader Despite Fugitive Exsecurity Chief’s Interpol Alert

Sheinbaum emphasizes that legal proceedings target exsecurity chief Hernán Bermúdez Requena only

Overview

  • Hernán Bermúdez Requena is the subject of an Interpol red notice and a Mexican arrest warrant for alleged leadership of La Barredora, a CJNG-linked extortion and fuel-theft network.
  • Bermúdez has remained on the run since his February 2025 warrant was issued, with authorities searching across 196 countries.
  • PAN deputy Federico Döring publicly accused Senator Adán Augusto López Hernández of knowing about and protecting Bermúdez during his governorship and later as interior secretary.
  • Leaked military intelligence cited by NGOs claims López held alliance ties with Bermúdez’s criminal enterprise, intensifying scrutiny of Morena’s anti-corruption stance.
  • In a July 16 press briefing, President Sheinbaum insisted no inquiry has been opened against López Hernández and directed attention to capturing the fugitive exsecurity chief.
