💨 Abstract

In recent months, the Mexican state of Tabasco has faced a surge in violent attacks, blockades, and fires, attributed to the criminal organization "La Barredora." This group, involved in extortion and fuel theft, has fragmented, with some leaders aligning with the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). Former Tabasco Security Secretary Hernán Bermúdez Requena is accused of founding the group and has an Interpol red notice against him.
