A former governor has been arrested in connection with the case of 43 students who went missing in Mexico in 2014, the Attorney General's Office said on Thursday.
The former governor of the state of Guerrero is accused of concealing evidence related to the incident.
In September 2014, 43 young men studying at a rural teacher training college in Ayotzinapa went missing in the city of Iguala while travelling on buses they had stolen.
They were pursued by corrupt police officers and allegedly handed over to the crime syndicate Guerreros Unidos for reasons that are not known. Bone fragments from only three of the young men have been found and identified so far.
In 2022, a commission classified the act as a state crime due to the alleged involvement of authorities and security forces and declared the students dead.
