MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico has asked Interpol to issue a red notice calling for the arrest of a former official who led the controversial probe into the 2014 disappearance and suspected murder of 43 student teachers, the attorney general's office said.

Experts and parents of the victims have accused Tomas Zeron, who lead Mexico's criminal investigation agency until his resignation in 2016, of manipulating the probe.
