Police in Mexico have arrested a retired judge accused of forcing evidence related to the disappearance of 43 students from the Iguala more than a decade ago.

Lambertina Galeana Marin was the president of the superb tribunal of justice in Guerrero when teachers trainee disappeared in 2014.

The 79-year-old is suspected of giving an order that led to the disappearance of CCTV staff, which investigators said they were key to the case.

She was arrested in the town of Chilpankio, three years after the order for her arrest.

The disappearance of the 43 students – who all attended the same college for teacher training in the city of Iiotinap – has long pursued Mexico.

For more than a decade on, despite several investigations, it is not yet known about what happened on the night of September 26, 2014.

The remains of three students were found until the location of the 40th remained a mystery, although they were supposed to have been killed.

A report of 2022 by the Truth Commission Working by the Mexican government to investigate the case found that this was state -sponsored crime, including federal and state authorities.

According to a committee report, the local police worked with members of a criminal group to forcibly disappear students.

The students had gone to the Iguala to the bus commands to take them to an annual protest in Mexico City.

The Mexican government said that both police and the local criminal group known as Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors) were signaled about students’ activities.

Guerreros Unidos suspected that the students who were taking buses in the Iguala were penetrated by members of a rival criminal gang, Los Royos, the report claims.

Both the police and the members of Guerreros Unidos then installed several obstacles in and around the city, she added.

One of those obstacles, managed by local, state and federal police, was on the street in front of the Palace of Justice.

Two employees of the Palace of Justice told investigators that the security cameras of the palace had caught what had happened to the road blocking.

However, the shots have never been handed over to the authorities and when employees tried to extract it almost a year later, the staff were “lost”, said investigators in 2015.

Since then, prosecutors have claimed that Da Galeana has given the order to destroy or delete footage.

In an official statement, the Ministry of Security in Mexico said that Da -Galiana would face charges of forced extinction.
