The Attorney General's Office (PGR) will be able to present "final results" of the investigation related to the disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa normal school students at the end of May, PGR officials involved in the investigation being carrried out by the Office of Human Rights stated to La Jornada.
"We have almost concluded the supplemental investigation. Tomorrow we will receive information from Innsbruck on the study of the skeletal remains and once all the results of the studies have been provided, we will be able to make them public and upload them to the Internet," a senior official of the PGR said.For his part, Eber Betanzos, Deputy Attorney for Human Rights and Crime Prevention of the PGR said in interviews that the agency did not violate the confidentiality agreement with the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (IGIE), "because we never made a decision regarding how these results would be reported".
He added that the outcome of the third expert study [of possible fires in the Cocula dump] was opened in the presence of the PGR and IGIE, and insisted that the commitment was that the findings would be delivered no later than March 31.
He said he is outside of Mexico, as the Institute of Legal Medicine at the University of Innsbruck will deliver a sealed envelope to him with the results of the latest study [of remains].
"I'm only going to pick up a sealed envelope containing the results. I wil bring it here (to Mexico) where it will be opened," he said.He said that the folder will be opened in the presence of representatives of the parents of the 43 disappered Ayotzinapa students, PGR officials and members of IGIE and the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Group
MV Note: The Argentine Team presented its own report on the Cocula dump in February and said, this week, that the government's new study "neither confirms nor denies" the hypothesis that the bodies of any normal school students were burned in the dump.He explained that the results have to do with remains of clothing and a possible identification. The opening of the document will take place after schedules [of those involved] have been arranged, he said.
Regarding statements that they have not identified the remains of any student, Betanzos stated that the Innsbruck Institute has only carried out the identification of genetic profiles, from which the Attorney General's Office "will establish a determination as to the identification itself".
MV Note: The remains of one student, which the government said were found in a plastic bag in the San Juan River, near the dump, were identified by the Innsbruck Institute. The remains of a second student were also possibly identified, but the level of match with DNA of relatives was low.Last Friday, the results of the third survey were released regarding the incineration of bodies in the garbage dump in Cocula, Guerrero, between September 26 and 27, 2014. According to Betanzos, the result were delivered on time, March 31, 2016, by fire experts to the federal agency and specialists.
