Angel Aguirre, a former governor of Mexico’s Guerrero state, is arrested on federal charges related to the 2014 Ayotzinapa case involving the disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College. The students were kidnapped in September 2014, and their case led to widespread national and international outrage amid allegations that authorities mishandled the investigation. According to federal prosecutors, Aguirre faces accusations including “concealing evidence” as part of efforts to determine the students’ whereabouts. Mexico News Daily reports that prosecutors accuse him of concealing evidence relevant to the investigation and associated determinations regarding what happened to the students. The arrest comes more than a decade after the students vanished. Both outlets describe the allegations as centered on alleged obstruction or withholding of information during the investigation. The case is widely known as one of Mexico’s most prominent disappearances, and it continues to be the subject of legal proceedings and competing accounts about what occurred after the students were taken.
