Mexican authorities have finally apprehended the mayor of the town where 43 students were abducted. Back in October 43 teaching students had gone been missing in which witnesses said they saw police shoot into their bus and took the students into custody. Through an investigation it had been concluded that the mayor himself ordered the attack on the students. The mayors motives are that he wanted the left wing students to be taught a lesson. There has been world wide outcry and huge pressure on the Mexican government to solve the case. President Pena Nieto has promised to make it his top priority. Knowing that the mayor would be questioned he and his wife went on the run. It has been discovered that the mayor and the local police were working for the Guerros Unidos drung gang. The police worked as muscle for the gang while the mayor himself received up to $220,000 a week. So far 50 arrests including police have been, but yet no sigh of were the students are located. A mass grave has been found but none of the bodies pertain to any of the students. The mayor and his wife have been brought to justice. The sad part is that it has to take 43 students to persuade the government to act. This is a reality check on how much corruption exists in Mexico. These students disappearance will not be the last come, I guarantee it.
