In connection with the investigations into the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico in 2014, the former governor of Guerrero state has been arrested. According to reports from Deutschlandfunk and DER SPIEGEL, the ex-governor is alleged to have obstructed the investigation of the case.

The students were presumably abducted by corrupt police officers and handed over to a drug cartel. The arrest points to possible new developments in the lengthy investigations that have troubled the Mexican public for years.
