A PROBE has found that the Mexican army did not act to stop the abduction of 43 students despite being aware of it happening.

In 2014, the students disappeared in southern Mexico and the Truth Commission was established to find out what happened following a lack of official reports.

The local police from the town of Iguala, members of organised crime and authorities kidnapped rural teachers’ college Ayotzinapa students from buses as they commandeered it for their transportation.
