Luxury Miami Apartment Purchased by Brother of Hernán Bermúdez
Bermúdez Brother's Miami Apartment Purchase Sparks Investigations
A luxury apartment purchase in Miami has sparked investigations into potential links to embezzlement of public funds or money laundering. Humberto Bermúdez Requena, brother of former Tabasco Security Secretary Hernán Bermúdez, acquired a Miami apartment valued at over $1.3 million in December 2024.
The purchase was made through a company called MPN906 LLC, registered in Florida, and involved a $700,000 mortgage loan from Bradesco bank. The property, a large condominium unit at the exclusive Marina Palms Residences in North Miami Beach, boasts three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a terrace with a lake view, and yacht dock access.
The transaction raises concerns due to the ongoing investigations into the Bermúdez family for money laundering and other suspicious financial activities. The timing, financial restrictions, and family investigations imply significant law enforcement interest in possible money laundering connected to this property acquisition.
Herán Bermúdez, who is currently a fugitive in Brazil, faces charges of extortion, criminal association, and kidnapping. He is also accused of founding and protecting the criminal group La Barredora, allegedly linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
Local legislators are expected to request detailed information from SEDENA and the UIF regarding contracts and resources allocated to the state Security Secretariat. Civil society organizations are demanding that UIF and other federal agencies track possible transfers, contracts, or transactions that could involve state resources.
The public is demanding clarity about the legality of this wealth, as the case adds to a long list of properties abroad acquired by figures close to governors and former secretaries. Some analysts are discussing the possibility of opening an investigation into the acquisition of the Miami apartment.
For now, no publicly available search results directly confirm legal conclusions or detailed proof linking this purchase to organized crime beyond the investigation status and allegations. However, the ongoing investigations and the complex financial maneuvers involved in the purchase have raised eyebrows.
As the investigations continue, the focus remains on uncovering the source of the funds used for the Miami apartment purchase and understanding any potential connections to political networks in Tabasco.
