Tabasco Anti-Corruption Panel Seals Ex-Security Chief Bermúdez’s Asset Declarations Until 2030

Officials say disclosure would jeopardize ongoing investigations and public safety by risking misuse of sensitive data.

Overview

  • The Committee of Transparency of Tabasco’s Secretaría Anticorrupción voted unanimously to reserve Hernán Bermúdez Requena’s patrimonial and interest filings in response to a public information request.
  • The resolution cites expediente 273195200008925 and Article 105, fractions VII and VIII, of Tabasco’s transparency law as the legal basis for withholding the records.
  • Authorities argue publication could obstruct criminal inquiries, affect due process, and endanger Bermúdez’s physical integrity as well as broader public security.
  • The decision also references the Ley General del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública and Tabasco’s security statutes, warning of potential “mal manejo” of data that could compromise institutional operations.
  • The ex–state security secretary, reported as the alleged leader of the group La Barredora, had a prior classification of his declaration by the SSyPC’s transparency body in July, and the new reservation keeps the documents sealed until August 2030.
