MEXICO CITY – Mexican Federal Police chief Enrique Galindo said he had no “clear evidence of active participation” by officers from his force in the disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School students on Sept. 26 in the southern city of Iguala.

The police chief was responding to a report published by Proceso magazine alleging that Federal Police officers, army troops and other federal law enforcement agents may have monitored the events the night the students disappeared using reports from the Command, Computing, Control and Communications Center, or C-4, in Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero, and Iguala.

Several eyewitnesses said they saw Federal Police officers and an army officer participating in the attack launched by Iguala police on the students, Proceso said.

The evidence and testimony gathered by Attorney General’s Office investigators “do not even come close to the theory in this report,” Galindo told the Televisa network.
