caught him when he fell. She is practically a recluse and suffers from
insomnia. She has witnessed the decline of the family’s prosperity that
began after her husband’s execution, because with the death of Mr.
Carpio Nicolle, his two major creations, “El Gráfico” and the UCN party,
died too. Mrs. Arrivillaga de Carpio also lost her brother-in-law; in
other words, two sisters were widowed during the same act, which
increased the family tragedy. The non-pecuniary damage for Martha
Arrivillaga de Carpio amounts to US$100,000.00 (one hundred
thousand United States dollars);
iii.
Rodrigo Carpio Arrivillaga had a very close relationship with his
father owing to his direct connection to the UCN. For ten years, he
accompanied his father in the different electoral campaigns and
created a life project determined by his father’s political project, so
that, after the latter’s death, he has found it difficult to take up the
reins of his life again;
iv.
Rodrigo and Jorge Carpio Arrivillaga feel their father’s absence
and miss his guidance. They tried to follow in his footsteps and retain
the leadership of “El Gráfico” and the UCN party, but were unable to
do so; therefore, they feel that they have failed. The non-pecuniary
damage amounts to US$75,000.00 (seventy-five thousand United
States dollars) each;
v.
The grandchildren of Jorge Carpio Nicolle (Rodrigo and Daniela
Carpio Fischer, and also Katia María, Ana Isabel, Andrea and Jorge
Carpio Leporowski) were affected by his death. The non-pecuniary
damage amounts to US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States
dollars) each;
vi.
Rodrigo and Daniela Carpio Fischer were directly affected owing
to their mother’s involvement in the investigation into the case, and
also by the need to go into exile. Consequently, they merit special
recognition and a non-pecuniary reparation;
vii.
Karen Fischer, in addition to being Mr. Carpio Nicolle’s
daughter-in-law, was a person he trusted, because she was his
personal secretary while he was the presidential candidate for the
UCN, and then when she became the secretary of his party. She has
suffered threats, intimidation and exile. The non-pecuniary damage for
Mrs. Fischer amounts to US$15,000.00 (fifteen thousand United States
dollars);
viii.
The non-pecuniary damage for Katia Leporowski, Jorge Carpio
Nicolle’s daughter-in-law, amounts to US$10,000.00 (ten thousand
United States dollars), and
c)
The lack of an investigation affected all members of the Carpio
Arrivillaga family, particularly Karen Fischer. Therefore, in fairness, the Court
should establish just compensation for them;
