Police in Mexico have arrested a retired judge accused of tampering with evidence related to the disappearance of 43 students from Iguala more than a decade ago.
Lambertina Galeana Marín was the president of the Superior Tribunal of Justice in the state of Guerrero when the trainee teachers went missing in 2014.
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.
The disappearance of the 43 students has long haunted Mexico.

According to a 2022 report, local police worked with members of a criminal group to forcibly disappear the students.
