The disappearance of 43 Mexican students after they were ambushed by police officers in 2014 was a state-sponsored crime involving federal and state authorities at the highest levels of government, according to the final report of a government truth commission.
The commission, created by the current administration, confirmed that the federal government, including the Mexican military and federal police, were aware of the students’ movements from the time they left their rural school campus in the state of Guerrero to their arrival in the city of Iguala where the students were abducted the night of 24 September.
