Former Guerrero Governor Arrested Over Evidence Destruction in 2014 Student DisappearancePreviousNext

Former Guerrero governor Angel Aguirre has been arrested on charges of obstruction of justice and forced disappearance related to the 2014 disappearance of 43 students from Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers College. Authorities allege Aguirre ordered the destruction of evidence that could have revealed the students' whereabouts. International investigations indicate the students were killed by organized crime with police involvement. While remains of three victims have been identified, most remain missing. New testimonies and a protected witness contributed to the arrest.
