Mexico has arrested Jesús Murillo, the former attorney general who led the investigation into the highly publicized disappearance of 43 student teachers in 2014.
While Murillo’s investigation concluded that the students were murdered by drug traffickers in a case of mistaken identity, the current government suspects the Mexican state was involved in the killings. An additional 83 warrants were ordered for the arrest of other officials, police officers and gang members.
