TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2000 VC LOS ANGELES TIMES Fernando Gutierrez Barrios; Mexico's Spy Chief MARY BETH SHERIDAN TIMES STAFF WRITER MEXICO CITY -Fernando Gutierrez Barrios, a legendary spy chief who was linked to some of Mexico's bloodiest cases of repression but was also praised 1 for maintaining political stability, died Monday. He was 73. The longtime security expert died after undergoing surgery following a heart attack, his office said. Gutierrez Barrios was one of the pillars of Mexico's 20th century political system, which was built around the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.
