$47.000 USD per death of an Ayotzinapa Student
Two years ago, there were not many answers but mere speculations, until today. Anabel Hernández, under her new published book, The True Night of Iguala, tells the story of her investigation reviewed and funded by the Investigative Reporting at the University of California of Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
"According to this version, at the time the military rescued the drugs from the buses, the students on board would have realized what they were extracting from the compartments, an unforeseen event that suddenly detonated the need to disappear them so as not to leave witnesses." [source]
Two million dollars worth of heroin were hidden and smuggled on two buses that night but when
"the loss of the precious cargo was reported to him, the boss would have made a call to the infantry Colonel José Rodríguez Pérez, Commander of the 27th Battalion, asking him to recover the goods at any cost. The Army was the security force that had the most authority in the city. Perhaps the drug trafficker didn't realize the magnitude of the operation to recover the drugs.
'The Army itself was the one that led the operation to rescue the drugs,' said the source of information who was aware of the facts."
Apparently, the book not only tells the story of what happened that night but truly exposes how drug cartels, power and politics work in this country all the way up to the presidency. How Tomás Zerón (below) frames 4 construction workers as responsible for the death and cremation of the 43 students in Cocula's dump but most important, how the investigations not only break human rights along the way but how they are blocked by a direct order from the presidency.
Why is this not hard to believe on a Mexican scenario? Because we've known about the fabrication of historical truths before, over decades that have set "the normalcy of a corrupted state", like a terminal patient that has survived through many alternative therapies, relapses and terrible aches only to figure out, in other countries this does not happen because the government prevents the people from getting perversely sick in the first place.
