MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) – The commission said as quoted by Mexico’s El Universal newspaper on Thursday that it has evidence of "alleged involvement of members of the Federal Police" in the case. According to the commission, the federal police agents could have conspired with municipal police and local criminal gangs.
Forty three students disappeared in Mexico’s Guerrero state in September, 2014. They were abducted after participating in a protest against discriminatory hiring and funding practices in the city of Iguala.
Over a hundred people were arrested following the incident, including the former mayor of Iguala and numerous police officials.
According to Mexican authorities, the students could have been burnt at a trash dump near the city of Cocula located in Guerrero state. However, several independent reports have refuted this claim.
