Overview

• Tabasco’s prosecutor said there is no order to call Senator Adán Augusto López Hernández to testify in the probe tied to Hernán Bermúdez Requena.
• Authorities stated the investigation remains centered on Bermúdez with a complementary phase underway that could lead to additional detentions if new evidence emerges.
• The Fiscalía reported no evidence of internal leaks of statements attributed to members of La Barredora and said any irregularity would be referred to the internal watchdog.
• Bermúdez has been linked to process on extortion, organized crime and aggravated kidnapping charges that could carry a maximum of about 139 years if he is convicted.
• PRI leader Alejandro Moreno filed complaints with U.S. agencies against López Hernández, and the senator later told colleagues he appointed Bermúdez but had no knowledge of illicit activities.
