In a statement , the Attorney General's Office said that once it obtains the testimonies of the former officials , they will be made public as long as they don't hinder the investigations.

Vidulfo Rosales,

the parents' lawyer , told EL UNIVERSAL that this new search in Tepecoacuilco is “a new line of investigation that can help to learn the location of the students. All the elements that can help us to learn the location of the 43 (students) should be used.

He added that “we were informed about this new excavation and search in the dump and we consider that it is something positive.”

In regards to the hearing, the Attorney General's Office explained that it will be handled by a judge in Tamaulipas . Moreover, the Attorney General has submitted phone recordings from drug traffickers in Chicago , who discussed the events and the Ayotzinapa students . Also, in regards to Eury “N”, Mateo “B,” and Salvador “B” , who were released from prison , the FGR has provided documents that show that these three people involved in the case refused to participate in the Istanbul Protocol, something that would have justified their claims, after they said they were tortured .
