In the case of the next of kin of Federico Clemente Figueroa Túnchez and Jovito Josué Juárez Cifuentes, the State indicated that they had not appeared at the reparation proceeding and, despite this, the Court should decide on the amount that will be destined to their legitimate heirs. In the judgment, the Court should decide that the corresponding amount would be deposited in the Banco de Guatemala and order that, should none of the next of kin of these persons appear, such sums remain deposited for one year from the date on which the respective judgment is delivered, so that the persons who believe that they have legitimate rights may enforce them. If, once this period has expired, no one has made a claim, brought a legal action or taken action in this regard, it requests the Court to order in the judgment that the said amounts should be destined by the State to the Social Welfare Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, which is the executing agent for the street children plan. In that event, the programs that are implemented should bear the names of Federico Clemente Figueroa Túnchez and Jovito Josué Juárez Cifuentes. The considerations of the Court 114.
