[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Mexico's former attorney general, Jesus Murillo Karam, has been arrested
- Prosecutors have arrested him in connection to disappearance of 43 students
- Arrest warrants for soldiers, police officers and gang members have been issued
- The motive of the kidnapping of the men still remains unknown eight years later
An ex-attorney general of Mexico has been arrested by prosecutors in connection with the 2014 disappearance of 43 students in the Mexican state of Guerrero, who are believed to have been murdered by the cartel.
A further 83 arrest warrants - for 33 local police officers, 11 state police, 20 army soldier officers and 14 gang members - have also been issued.
The mass kidnapping happened on September 26 2014, when 43 male teaching students from the rural village of Ayotzinapa were detained by corrupt police, from Iguala, on their way to a protest before being handed over to the Guerreros United Cartel.

Jesus Murillo Karam served as the attorney general from 2012 to 2015 under former President Enrique Pena Nieto.
It is the first time in recent history that a former attorney general has been arrested and marks one of the biggest mass arrests by civilian prosecutors of Mexican army soldiers.
The office of the current attorney general, Alejandro Gertz Manero, said Murillo Karam was charged with torture, official misconduct and forced disappearance.
In 2020, Gertz Manero said Murillo Karam had been involved in the crime by 'orchestrating a massive media trick' and leading a 'generalized cover-up' of the case.
His arrest comes a day after a commission set up to determine what had happened said the army were at least partially responsible in the case.
