: Mexico’s army was “aware of what was happening” during the kidnap and disappearance of 43 students in a 2014 crime that shocked the nation, a government commission said in a document released Tuesday.
“The army was aware of what was happening” and the soldiers involved “had real-time information on the possible destination of the missing students,“ said a document issued by a truth commission tasked by the government with investigating the atrocity. Investigators said they were detained by corrupt police and handed over to a drug cartel, though exactly what happened to them is unclear.
Former attorney general Jesus Murillo Karam, who led a controversial investigation into the mass kidnapping, was arrested last year on charges of forced disappearance, torture and obstruction of justice.
