A judge who has investigated some of Mexico’s
biggest drug gangs — including El Chapo’s feared Sinaloa Cartel — was
assassinated on Monday.
Shocking footage shows Vicente Antonio Bermudez
Zacarias being shot in the head while he was out jogging in Metepec, 30 miles
west of Mexico City.
The mystery gunman runs behind him before shooting
him in the back of the head at point-blank range. Bermudez, 37, lies dying in
the street as the gunman flees. According to local reports, he was rushed to a
hospital, where he later died.
President Enrique Peña Nieto condemned the murder
and ordered the attorney general’s office to take over the investigation.
Bermudez became a district judge in December 2013
and served in the Fifth Tribunal for appeals and civil judgments in the State
of Mexico when he was killed.
His cases included one involving the Los Cuinis drug
cartel and a tax fraud investigation against powerful businessman Naim Libien
Kaui, whose family is accused of links to drug traffickers.
Most recently, he had suspended the extradition of
Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the US to face drug trafficking charges.
El Chapo’s Sinaloa Cartel is infamous for its
willingness to execute or corrupt officials, and the notoriously brutal drug
lord has twice escaped top-security prisons.
However, it is not yet known who was responsible for
the killing and authorities say a motive has not been determined.
“I have given instruction to the attorney general to
take up this case, undertake the corresponding investigations and find those
responsible for this terrible event,” Peña Nieto said.
Supreme Court president Luis Maria Aguilar Morales
also urged authorities to ensure the safety of judges.
“Federal judges are people who dedicate their lives,
their personal, moral and physical integrity to serve federal justice in our
country,” Aguilar said.
“They require security and peace conditions that
guarantee their independence because in an atmosphere of peace and security,
judges can reflect on their decisions.”
That wasn't just Chapo judge! Also Cuini from Cjng,the Trevino brothers(zetas),el gil
ReplyDeleteIt was Chapo's judge man..it was Abigails and Miguel Trevinos also. Don't lie to look cool...
DeleteNo need to bribe the next guy taking up the position as judge in these cases: he knows what he gotta do and what not, or else!
ReplyDeleteBy enjoying the benefits of corruption over the last 50 years, the mexican elite has really fucked up themselves and the future of their kids.
Yup I agree, for some a long period of time the elite were untouchable. It was a matter of time before they would become part of the mix. Just look at the moreira that got killed in coahuila
DeleteRaul Salinas de Gortari also got ministers of justice, senators, governors, congressmen, cardinals and presidential candidates murdered, but in mexico that does not matter none, what matters is saving Carlos Salinas de Gortari's ass, that matters to the US, and to UK where he lives in hiding.
DeleteAbout time it happens to a judge, now we will see how it effects there decisions. And for security issue, it won't happen.
ReplyDelete5:15 it has been happening to judges. Where have you been?
DeleteThe same happened in Tijuana crea years ago Art. Ochoa Palacios was jogging and someone shoot him in the backof the head just like the video and justice never been done for that murder and many more
ReplyDeleteI remember (oct 19, at 8:14 am) that the dead person was pgr delegado and was,doing investigation on colosio assassination and the afo cartel and never someone has been sent to jail for it history repeats
DeleteWow they are trying really hard to blame chapo and his sons for everything going on. I bet the US is involved like it was when they went after pablo escobar.
ReplyDeleteAfter "Killing Pablo" everything went to hell for colombia, but Alvaro Uribe Velez made himself a millionaire, several times, in dollars...
DeleteYou have to laugh when you read that scum EPN's comments. It was probably him who ordered the hit.
ReplyDeleteFue El Guano
ReplyDeleteThis was a high-profile judge that was handling more than just El Chapo's case. He could have been killed by any criminal group that was unhappy with their court case.
ReplyDeleteIn fact El Chapo has no reason to hate this guy because this judge actually stopped the extradition process for El Chapo. It could very well have been a group that wants to see Chapo extradited and threatened to kill him unless he continued the extradition process.
There could be hundreds of reasons why many different groups wanted this guy dead. RIP
Yes thank you. People ignorantly ignore the fact that the article says it suspended Chapos extradition so you see it was probably the government or another Cartel. Please try to read carefully as is very evident they are accusing Chapo and his family falsely
DeleteI don't think it matters whose payroll he's on.Someone won't like his decision no matter what.Catch 22 situation.Couldn't win no matter what.
DeleteThere could be another judge that knows how to squeeze all those cases better, they clearly know where the wind can push their sails, nobody in mexico is making any centavos extraditing any "dangerous narcos"
DeleteMAYBE IT WAS CJNG TRYING TO GET CHAPO TO THE U.S. SINCE THIS WAS THE JUDGE THAT HAD SUSPENDED THE EXTRADITION ~@~
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteNot it was chapo because most likely this judge was not gone be able to suspend the extradiction for a second time so they kill him so the cases can go to a judge who is in there pocket
DeleteIt was soemone who wants Chapo extradited. For all we know this judge was on Chapos payroll!
DeleteChilling hit. At least he went down fast
ReplyDeleteRumors that it was a hit called by el cuini but i looked up his court assignments and it was 16th district and not appeals court
ReplyDeleteTHE MYSTERY CONTINUES.....~@~
DeleteL40 y L42 son sospechosos tambien. Ya que su organizacion fue asotada en coahuila y Nuevo Leon. Aparte no les conviene ser extraditados a USA. Aunque ya tienen a varios Treviñozzz en jaulas en EEUA.
Deletelol you think Mencho literally runs all of Mexico don't you? Hilarious..
Delete459. Nobody runs all of Mexico not even Martha Stewart or Mary Magdalene
DeleteYou study a persons movements day after day. And eventually you come across your window of opportunity. - El Sol Perdido
ReplyDeleteJudge taught he was safe lol
Deleteman I don't post too often ,BUT man, I gotta ask how old are you.??? you post stuff in here that SUPER OBVIOUS to any common sensed adult but you make it sound like it's actually informative
Deleteman u can go fuck yourself thats super obvious if u dont like the commments dont read them 7:38
Delete"To any common sensed adult"
Delete" if you don't like the comments don't read them". HOW am I going to know if I liked them or not BEFORE I read it??? the only one I commented on wad " El huerkitos mocosso perdidos "" Man, I swear i m speaking to 10 , 11 year old punks.
DeleteNo federal judge is delivering to Mexicans. All law makers, judges and cops need to be shot on sight for not providing security to the citizens.
ReplyDeleteThe constitution burnt and a new one created with real rights including the roght to bear arms at any time by law abiding citizens with no criminal record
Real charges for corruptos especially those holding office
7:52 No hay dinero pá tragar genny, pero va a haber para pistolas? Also you can not burn the "new mexican constitution"
DeleteIt is a monument to stupidity as is, and must be preserved.
Work on a new one where things can be reversed and punishment is retroactive and includes the classless political class.
Whoever recorded that video had better watch out. It is so obvious where it was recorded from by the shooter.
ReplyDeleteit was a city camera
DeleteI think it was somebody waiting to record the hit, from inside a building, you can see a window frame, and a hand and fingers and the narrow film of a cell phone in the middle.
DeleteHow would the camera be focused exactly on the judge and assassin? The first car to stop appears to drive away without helping the judge.
ReplyDeleteCanadian girl
They are using a Smartphone to make a copy of this Video.you Can see it at the end.if You get a copy of the Video You Can check on The metadata in the video and depending on The app they used and they setup it you know who Made The First copy. But The murder was recorded by a traffic cam.
DeleteI wonder if that 1st or 2nd car that paused was the sicario's car just to be sure the judge wasn't moving?He blended in looked like another jogger and was jogging away from the scene looking like normal jogging.
DeleteBy the time they enlarge and enhance that they should be able to know who the guy is. Especially if it was a traffic cam. If he is a member of a group, and is identified he they will probably kill the shooter too as it could draw attention to them. Or like many things here it may just be swept under the carpet.
ReplyDeletewhy the killer did it in front of a cam ita a message to someone??
