Thirty inmates escaped from a prison in northern Mexico yesterday under cover of a riot between rival gang members that left 44 prisoners dead, government officials said.
Officials at the Apodaca jail, including the director and 18 guards, have been suspended and are under investigation for possible collusion in the escape, Rodrigo Medina, governor of Nuevo Leon state, said at a press conference today in Monterrey.
