Explanation

Acquiesced means agreed or consented silently without protest, often reluctantly. Acquired means gained, acquitted means found not guilty, and actuated means motivated. Senior officials would have had to agree (acquiesce) to allow a cover-up to happen - their silence or consent was necessary.
