Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) has reiterated its accusations against former Guerrero Governor Ángel Aguirre, asserting that his alleged obstruction in the Ayotzinapa case was a "malicious and deliberate operation." The FGR presented a video detailing Aguirre's alleged actions, linking him directly to the disappearance of 43 students in 2014.
The federal prosecutors maintain that Aguirre actively concealed evidence to erase traces of his own implication in the case. They contend that his actions went beyond mere technical omissions, characterizing them as a "dolosa y deliberada operación estructurada desde la cúpula del poder Ejecutivo Estatal" – a deliberately structured operation from the highest levels of the state's executive power.
This stance by the FGR underscores the ongoing complexities and controversies surrounding the Ayotzinapa investigation. The office has affirmed its intention to continue pursuing all lines of inquiry to bring the case to a resolution and hold those responsible accountable.
