墨西哥数十名大学生在一所乡村大学失踪12年后,据称这起案件与贩毒团伙和警方有关,当局周一表示,他们已确认新增17名嫌疑人。
周六,数千人在墨西哥城参加年度游行,要求为格雷罗州受暴力影响严重的阿约津帕43名立志成为乡村教师的年轻男子伸张正义。2014年9月26日,这些学生从格雷罗州出发前往墨西哥城参加抗议活动时,在伊瓜拉镇被警方拦截。
调查显示,警方将学生移交给了当地贩毒团伙。2024年,一名据称是“联合战士”贩毒集团头目之人因与该案有关联被捕。
目前已有数十人被捕,但这起令墨西哥举国创伤、玷污国家声誉的案件迄今尚未有任何人被定罪。
仅找回了三具遗体。
负责该案调查的特别检察官毛里西奥·帕萨兰表示,对学生失踪当晚通话记录的新分析促成了这17名新增嫌疑人的逮捕。
他表示,分析结果显示公职人员、警察、与有组织犯罪团伙有关联人员以及普通民众之间存在通信往来。
他补充称,调查人员在一家殡仪馆发现了一件非法获取的武器、一块骨头以及未登记在册的骨碎片和牙齿。
他表示,一名学生失踪数天后,一名公职人员和一名市警使用了两名学生的手机。
他补充道,其中一名新证人“直接参与了事件,但当时是未成年人”。
这名于4月被捕的未成年人是“联合战士”贩毒集团成员,检察官说道。
他表示,该案共有168人被起诉,其中130人处于审前羁押状态。

今年8月,一名前州长因下令删除失踪当晚伊瓜拉镇的监控录像被捕。
去年,当局逮捕了一名前高级法官,其与该案有关联。官员表示,兰贝蒂娜·加莱纳被控协助藏匿据称记录了事件经过的视频。
该州前总检察长也于2022年因与该案有关联被捕。
当局仅能确认43名失踪学生中少数人的烧焦骨碎片身份。调查工作主要集中在该州偏远农村地区搜寻秘密弃尸点,这些地区正是贩毒团伙活跃之地。
根据政府估算,几十年来,墨西哥一直饱受贩毒团伙暴力之苦,已有超过50万人被杀或失踪。

Search for dozens of missing college students in Mexico leads to human remains, 17 new suspects
2026-09-29 07:43 EDT / CBS/AFP
Twelve years after the disappearance of dozens of Mexican students from a rural university, allegedly at the hands of drug traffickers and police, authorities said Monday they had identified 17 new suspects.
Thousands of people attended an annual march on Saturday in Mexico City to demand justice for 43 young men who were studying to be rural teachers in Ayotzinapa, in the violence-hit state of Guerrero. The students were traveling from Guerrero to a protest in Mexico City on Sept. 26, 2014, when police stopped them in the town of Iguala.
The investigation suggests the police handed the students over to a local cartel. In 2024, an alleged leader of the Guerreros Unidos cartel was arrested in connection with the case.
Dozens of arrests have been made but so far no one has been convicted in an affair that traumatized Mexico and stained the country’s reputation.
Only three bodies have been recovered.
Mauricio Pazaran, the special prosecutor in charge of the investigation, said a new analysis of phone calls made on the night of the students’ disappearance led to the arrests of the 17 new suspects.
He said the analysis revealed communications between public officials, police officers, individuals linked to organized crime groups, and private citizens.
He added that at a funeral home, investigators found an illegally obtained weapon, a bone and unregistered bone fragments and teeth.
He said a public employee and a municipal police officer had used the cellphones of two students days after their disappearance.
One of the new witnesses “participated directly in the events, but was a minor at the time,” he added.
The minor, who was arrested in April, is a member of the Guerreros Unidos cartel, the prosecutor said.
He said a total of 168 people are being prosecuted in the case, 130 of whom were in pretrial detention.

In August, a former governor was arrested for ordering the deletion of security camera footage in Iguala on the night of the disappearances.
Last year, authorities arrested a former senior judge in connection with the case. Lambertina Galeana is accused of helping to conceal videos that allegedly showed the incident unfolding, officials said.
The state’s former attorney general was also arrested in 2022 in connection with the case.
Authorities have been able to identify burned bone fragments of only a few of the 43 missing students. The work largely involves searching for clandestine body dumping grounds in rural, isolated parts of the state where drug cartels are active.
Mexico has been plagued by cartel violence that has killed or left missing over half a million people in just a few decades, according to the government’s estimates.
