complaint before the Supreme Court of Justice of the province of Buenos Aires. 80 On April 22, 1997, that court declared “that the special appeals filed had been rejected correctly.” 81 To counter this rejection, the injured party’s lawyer filed a special federal appeal in addition to the special appeals on unconstitutionality, and on the inapplicability of the law, which was granted by the First Chamber of the Appeals Chamber on April 28, 1998, forwarding the proceedings to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. 82 On November 12, 1998, that court declared ‘the special appeal filed had been granted incorrectly,” because “it is not addressed against the judgment delivered by the superior court.” 83 B. Other investigations conducted between 1994 and 1998 51. Based on the death of Assistant Commissioner Gutiérrez, in parallel to the preliminary investigation, the oral proceeding, delivery of judgment, and the appeals filed (supra paras. 44 to 50), three investigations were opened and processed: (i) Administrative Inquiry No. 808.998/94 Police of the province of Buenos Aires; (ii) Administrative Inquiry No. 357-18-000001/94 Federal Police, and (iii) the investigation of the Special Committee of the Chamber of Deputies of the National Congress. In addition, a criminal action was opened in relation to the denunciations of “unlawful coercion” made by two adolescents before Criminal and Correctional Court No. 5 (supra para. 45). B.1.

On September 9, 1994, Administrative Inquiry No. 808.998/94 was opened in the Administrative Inquiry Directorate of the Police of the province of Buenos Aires. In this context, on September 13, 1994, the Directorate General of Judicial Affairs of the Police of the province of Buenos Aires declared that “the death of Assistant Commissioner Jorge Omar Gutiérrez could be attributed to ‘in itinere’ service.” 84 Nevertheless, owing to the judicial action filed (supra paras. 44 to 50), which revealed prima facie “that he was carrying out intelligence tasks,” the Police Inspector Supervisor of the province of Buenos Aires annulled this decision on March 23, 1998, and declared that “the death of Assistant Commissioner Jorge Omar Gutiérrez could be attributed to his functions.” 85 B.2. Administrative Inquiry No. 357-18-000001/94 Federal Police 53.
