The Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) revealed on Monday that there are videos that show that elements of the Secretariat of the Navy intervened in the Cocula garbage dump, a site that the authorities of the previous government pointed out as the point where the remains of the 43 Ayotzinapa normalistas were incinerated.
During the presentation of a new report on the case, the GIEI warned that the sailors were in that place on October 27, 2014, hours before members of the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) and the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) who were working on the investigations into the disappearance arrived there.
Even, according to the GIEI, two hours after the Navy’s visit to the Cocula garbage dump, the then head of the PGR, Jesús Murillo Karam, went to the site personally.
The GIEI said Monday that, before the videos revealed by the Navy, it was known that elements of that corporation had participated in arrests and transfers, but not that they had been in the Cocula garbage dump.
The 43 students disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero, between the night of September 26 and the early morning of September 27, 2014.
During the presentation of the report, the GIEI also noted, so far, there is no indication that the missing students are alive.
