The arrest of Albertina Galeana, a former president of the Superior Court of Justice of Guerrero, has been announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum. According to officials, Galeana is being held on suspicion of deleting security camera footage from the Palace of Justice in Iguala on the night that Ayotzinapa students went missing.
The incident occurred when a group of normal school students stopped outside the building, and eyewitnesses reported that the videos were deliberately erased by authorities at the time. President Sheinbaum stated that investigations into this matter are being led by the specialized prosecutor’s office for the Ayotzinapa case within the Attorney General’s Office.
As the investigation unfolds, additional information about Galeana’s role in the disappearance of the students will be made public. One of the key questions raised by the parents of the missing youth is why the videos were erased, and officials have promised to provide more details once they have been briefed on the matter.
President Sheinbaum emphasized that any new developments in the case would require coordination with the families of the disappeared students before further information can be released. However, Galeana’s arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts to uncover the truth behind the Ayotzinapa disappearance.
The Ayotzinapa case has been shrouded in controversy and allegations of official complicity for years. The announcement of Galeana’s arrest raises hopes among families and advocates for justice that long-overdue answers may finally be forthcoming.
