40 188 (Sweet Coconut) that same day. On April 24, 2010, Alfredo López filed a complaint regarding the same 189 incident with the D.G.I.C. According to the State, as a result of the investigations, three suspects were identified and the file was remitted to the Office of the Attorney General. Still pending was the issuance of 190 the Prosecutor’s injunction to the respective Court. 155. In addition, on April 19, 2006, the Management Board chaired by José Ángel Castro, together with more than 300 members of the Community, notified the Governor of the Department of Atlántida of the existence of a parallel council directed by people with interests opposed to those of the 191 Community, and in June 2007 they wrote to the Ministry of Security denouncing the presence of a 192 “parallel community council” which was “authorizing sales behind the Community’s back.” 156. The IACHR cannot fail to note that, as Teresa Reyes said, “the situation has got worse since the Municipality imposed [a] parallel Council and refused to recognize the Council legally elected 193 and registered with the Department of the Interior and Justice.” The State itself indicated in the proceedings before the IACHR that “many of the problems arising in the Community are being caused by 194 the existence of two Councils, one that is legally constituted and the other which is not” and that “it has been discerned that the root of the problem is the existence of two Councils of the Community of Triunfo de la Cruz, constituted exclusively by people of the Garífuna ethnic group and the fact that they cannot 195 agree on which one authentically represents the Community.” 157. In light of the above, the IACHR considers that it has been proved that the Municipality of Tela sponsored the establishment and ongoing existence of a “parallel Council” in the Community, as a result of which there were further denunciations of illegal sales of Community land and of acts of violence against members of the Community. 3.
