would guarantee Ms. Andrade’s appearance in court; 4) monetary bail set at 100,000 bolivianos.119 On November 27, 2000, Ms. Andrade posted 100,000 bolivianos bail,120 and gave the names and identifications numbers of two persons who, under their own recognizance, would guarantee her appearance for court. She asked the Ninth Criminal Examining Judge to issue the release warrant that same day.121 On December 7, 2000, two persons became guarantors that Ms. Andrade would be present for every court proceeding.122 137. On December 5, 2000, Ms. Andrade Salmón presented a memorial posing a prejudicial and preliminary matter and asked that the preliminary investigative order be revoked, a request that was denied in Resolutions No. 432/2002 and No. 430/2000 of June 10, 2002. 123 138. On December 11, 2000, the Constitutional Court decided the petition of habeas corpus and held that the judge against whom the appeal had been filed had committed an unlawful act by denying Ms. Andrade’s request for alternatives to pre-trial detention, and by virtue of the fact that the prerequisites set out in Article 233 of Law No. 1970 for ordering pre-trial detention were not present in her case, thereby violating said Article 233.124 In its ruling the Constitutional Court held that the fact that the pre-trial detention was revoked on appeal does not erase the illegal act committed by the authority against whom the appeal was filed. The Constitutional Court therefore revoked the October 27, 2000 decision delivered by the First Civil Chamber of La Paz Judicial District Superior Court, and granted the petition, without ordering Ms. Andrade’s release, which the competent authority had already ordered on appeal.125 139. On December 18, 2000 and January 12, 2001, Ms. Andrade’s defense counsel again asked the Ninth Criminal Examining Judge to issue the warrant for Ms. Andrade’s release.126 On January 10, 2001, the court order confining Ms. Andrade Salmón to the court’s jurisdiction took effect.127 On January 22, 2001, the Ninth Criminal Examining Judge issued the warrant for Ms. Andrade’s release, as she had complied with the alternative measures ordered.128 140.
