Judges, police, and cartels, all in cahoots.

@raphjd ......& to think that dynamic hasn't spread to USA, Europe & elsewhere, is beyond naive.
Still, it makes my jaw drop.
Lambertina Galeana Marín was the president of the Superior Tribunal of Justice in the state of Guerrero...the 79-year-old is suspected of having given an order that led to the disappearance of CCTV footage which investigators said was key to the case.
A 2022 report by a truth commission...found that it was a state-sponsored crime involving federal and state authorities.
...local police worked with members of a criminal group to forcibly disappear the students.
The students had gone to Iguala to commandeer buses to take them to an annual protest in Mexico City...a local criminal group known as Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors) had been alerted to the students' activities.
Guerreros Unidos suspected that the students seizing busses in Iguala had been infiltrated by members of a rival criminal gang, Los Rojos, the report alleged.
