Tabasco Prosecutors Say La Barredora Penetrated FGR as Judge Backs Case Against Ex-Security Chief

Prosecutors cite Army intelligence alongside a victim’s account to support organized-crime corruption allegations.

Overview

  • In a case file made public on October 13, prosecutors alleged an FGR official identified as Rosete, alias “El Yanqui,” aided La Barredora from inside the federal agency.
  • Judge Ramón Adolfo Brown Ruiz ruled that evidence in cause 212/2025 is sufficient to presume the responsibility of former Tabasco security chief Hernán Bermúdez Requena.
  • Five intelligence reports from the Mexican Army and the Cerfi Sureste (2019–2022) describe Bermúdez as a CJNG-linked operator and protector and note internal disputes that included a December 2023 shooting outside his home.
  • Businessman Ramón Martínez Armengol testified he was extorted, forced to receive stolen fuel, kidnapped, and coerced into signing over his Villahermosa gas station to Manuel de Atocha Romero.
  • The Tabasco Fiscalía is pursuing probes into suspected FGR collusion and leaks, while a protected entrepreneur in Yucatán filed a separate complaint saying he is being falsely tied to La Barredora to seize his business.
