A decade after 43 students vanished in Mexico, ex-governor arrested, accused of concealing evidence

Mexican authorities have arrested the former governor of the southern state of Guerrero in connection with the 2014 disappearance of 43 students. The former official is accused of concealing evidence related to the case, which remains a significant legal and political development a decade after the students vanished.

The disappearance of the 43 students has become a prominent symbol of impunity and state-involved corruption in Mexico. The arrest marks a notable step in the long-running investigation into the events that occurred in 2014.
