C. Judicial and administrative proceedings 45. After the restoration of democracy in Bolivia in 1982, it was agreed by consensus to investigate the crimes committed by the de facto government of General Luis Garc��a Meza Tejada. The investigations conducted made it possible for the National Congress to bring charges against him before the Supreme Court of Justice on February 25, 1986. The ruling established that General Luis García Meza, Colonel Luis Arce Gómez, and their collaborators were responsible for the commission of eight groups of crimes: sedition and restriction on the rights of the people; armed uprising; organization of irregular armed groups; adoption of orders against the Constitution and law; deprivation of liberty; attempt against the right to freedom of the press; obtention of illegal advantages, and violation of the autonomy of the University. The conviction established that the actions carried out during the de facto regime were "prepared and planned acts." 47 In these cumulative Suits for Damages, pursued by the Public Ministry and its interveners against Luis García Meza Tejada and his collaborators, it was established that "Carlos Flores Bedregal and Gualberto Vega Yapura died and the political leader of the Socialist Party, Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz, was mortally injured" from the takeover of the COB building. 48 46. Similarly, an ordinary criminal proceeding was initiated in 1999 for the events that occurred on July 17, 1980, and during said proceeding, the basis of the trial were "the details of the coup d'état of July 17, 1980 [...], as a result of which Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz, Carlos Flores Bedregal, and Gualberto Vega Yapura were murdered," 49 in accordance with the judgment of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation of April 15, 1993.

On September 3, 1997, the Chamber of Deputies of Bolivia entrusted its Human Rights Commission with "the monitoring and oversight of the search for the remains of [...] Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz." 50 Once the investigations had been conducted, on November 17, 1998, the Chamber of Deputies requested that the Investigating Judge on duty in criminal matters of the Judicial District of La Paz issue an initial instruction order to several individuals involved. 51 On February 18, 1999, the Third Magistrate’s Court on criminal matters in La Paz (hereinafter also referred to as the "Third Magistrate's Court") issued the initial investigation order 52 in the proceedings "Public Prosecutor v/ Franz Pizarro Solano et al."
