US EditionMexico's top court orders release of Ayotzinapa missing students case file
- In 2025, Mexico's Supreme Court directed the attorney general's office to make available a redacted copy of its case records related to the 2014 vanishing of 43 students from Ayotzinapa.
- The order followed a citizen's request amid over a decade of varying accounts, political interference, and bungled investigations in this high-profile human rights case.
- The ruling requires the file to be published on the prosecutor's website with sensitive information redacted, while officials acknowledge involvement in a cover-up by local, state, and federal agents.
- Investigators determined that the students were probably kidnapped and murdered by criminal organizations collaborating with police; the former chief prosecutor was detained in 2022, but no convictions have been achieved.
- The court order lacks a compliance deadline, victims' families continue seeking justice, and the government has pledged action to find those responsible in this ongoing legal crisis.
