Mexico arrests ex-governor over alleged destruction of evidence in 2014 student case

Mexico's former governor of Guerrero state, Angel Aguirre, has been arrested on charges of obstructing justice and forced disappearance in connection with the 2014 disappearance of 43 students. Authorities allege he ordered the destruction of evidence that could have revealed the students' whereabouts. The case remains one of Mexico's most significant human rights tragedies, with international investigations concluding that the students were likely killed by organized crime groups working alongside local police. While the remains of three victims have been identified, the fate of the remaining students remains unknown. New testimony and evidence led to the arrest, including claims that security camera footage existed despite initial denials by state authorities.
