The source of this information was a member of the Secretariat of the Navy, identified as Popeye.
According to an informative card of the Sedena, dated March 22, 2021, Popeye would have confirmed that the order to monitor Bermúdez and his network came from the National Palace.
The surveillance of the criminal group was based on telephone interventions made by the Regional Southeast Intelligence Center. This joint instance of Sedena, Marina CNI and Attorney General’s Office operated since before March 2021.
The follow -up extended to Gustavo Elías de Dios Yedra, aka “Tavo” or “Spartano”, who coordinated the theft and sale of fuel in Tabasco and Chiapas. His relationship with security controls was known since 2019, and also linked it with Navy operational personnel.

What happened to the main ones involved
After being identified as an alleged intelligence collaborator, Yedra was deprived of liberty by his own “La Barredora” partners. They accused him of having leaked information that allowed the folder to open against him.
That same day, Yedra was kidnapped along with Michael Alfonso Haddad Sánchez, aka “Joncha”, one of his operators in the transfer of hydrocarbons. Both were traded in a lynch truck and stripped of money.
Sedena warned in the report that the leaders of the criminal group feared that Yedra was collaborating with the authorities. Therefore, they anticipated their execution as internal retaliation. The warning was fulfilled.
Hernán Bermúdez’s role in the structure
Hernán Bermúdez is indicated as a centerpiece of the criminal network investigated. From his position as Secretary of Security, he maintained links with members of the group, according to the recordings.
Bermúdez himself would have warned the leaders of the criminal group about the possible entry of federal operations. “Say up because 1 ‘state trucks and marine intelligence are going to enter,” is attributed to the leaked document.
Currently, Hernán Bermúdez has an active appraisal order and a red card issued by Interpol. He is a fugitive. Adam Augusto López, former governor of Tabasco and responsible for his appointment, has declared that he did not know the illegal activities of the former official.
