Tabasco Political Scandal: Ex-Interior Minister Linked to Gambling Company
A recent investigation has shaken the political landscape of Tabasco, Mexico. Adán Augusto López Hernández, former Secretary of the Interior and current senator, is listed as a notary in the registry of a company linked to gambling. The company, owned by Humberto Bermúdez Requena, brother of Hernán Bermúdez Requena, the former Secretary of Security of Tabasco, has sparked controversy due to its alleged connections to illicit activities, according to official reports.
Adán Augusto’s Role as Notary in the Scandal
In 2017, Humberto Bermúdez Requena registered the company “Controladora de Inversiones y Promociones del Sureste” with Notary 27 of Tabasco, then headed by Adán Augusto López Hernández, along with Alexander Arguedas. In 2018, this company received authorization from the Secretary of the Interior to operate a betting center and take remote bets.
Documents Reveal Casino Registration Under Adán Augusto’s Notary
Journalist Jorge García Orozco, from the Emeequis portal, revealed that this operation was possible thanks to documentation processed under the public faith of Adán Augusto. The report mentions that the permits were legally managed, but the background of family relationships complicates the public and ethical perception of the matter.
Permits Renewed While Adán Augusto Headed the Interior Ministry
Another company linked to Humberto Bermúdez Requena is Pur Umazal Tov, also in the gambling sector. Although it does not formally appear in his name, three of its suppliers are owned by him. This company received a renewal of its permit to operate betting in October 2022, precisely when Adán Augusto López was the head of the Secretary of the Interior (Segob).
The Business Network: Bets, Permits, and Known Names
This coincidence has raised suspicions, as Humberto Bermúdez has been identified as an accomplice of his brother Hernán Bermúdez Requena in drug trafficking activities, particularly cocaine, since 1999. Official documents and intelligence reports, published by Excélsior, link the Bermúdez clan to criminal operations in the region.
The Shadow of Casinos and Political Ties
Although no formal investigation has been opened against the former governor of Tabasco, these revealed facts once again put the focus on his performance as a public official and the ethics in the exercise of power. The figure of a public notary, who must guarantee the legality of legal acts, comes into question when linked to companies related to questionable family networks.
Transparency, Politics, and Business in Tabasco
The connection between Adán Augusto and the Bermúdez family businesses reopens the debate on transparency in Tabasco politics. The Emeequis investigation raises necessary questions and delves into a framework where politics and the betting business intersect with well-known surnames.
