A panel of international experts investigating the 2014 abduction of 43 students in southern Mexico said on Tuesday that it was ending its inquiry after being repeatedly lied to and misled by the Mexican armed forces about their role in the crime.
Members of the Mexican military misrepresented their whereabouts during the crime, denied access to key documents and withheld details about their involvement in the disappearance and its subsequent cover-up, the experts said in a report released on Tuesday, their sixth and final assessment of a notorious event that remains shrouded in mystery. ---- “It’s all lies, one after another,” Carlos Beristain, a Spanish doctor and panel member, told The New York Times on Monday night. “We’re not going to stay if we don’t have a chance to get answers,” he added.
The independent panel’s latest findings include a new technical analysis of cellphone data and documents that placed several members of the military at locations connected to the attack while it was underway, in places and times they had never mentioned in their testimonies.
“What all the technical information shows is the lie in many of the statements” provided by the military, added Dr. Beristain. “They say they were not in places where they were.”
Local police officers and other gunmen opened fire on the students, and by daybreak, six people had been killed and dozens of others wounded. The students were never seen again. The remains of only three bodies have been identified. ---- “There are findings that were never documented, there were bags that were never reported,” the report said.

Gee they are almost as bad and as the corrupt as american FBI and DOJ.
Maybe if the doctor would stop asking nicely and be a bit more forceful they’d get some answers. Ah, but you can’t do that.
