70. Likewise, the petitioners contended that, on December 30, 2005, several persons broke into Mr. Pacheco’s house and took confidential documentation. 115 They stated that, on December 11, 2003, four armed men kidnapped the engineer in charge of building a new house for Mr. José Pacheco.116 They claimed that the workers who were on the construction site heard the armed men say “no, this is not him” when the engineer was kidnapped.117 71. The petitioners also reported that, on May 28, 2012, José Pacheco and his son José Daniel Pacheco were the victims of kidnapping and theft of their car.118 72. They alleged that all of these incidents were reported by José Pacheco León on the basis of seven complaints.119 Although the Commission does not have the dates for all the complaints filed, it takes note of the numbers of the investigations of the complaints. 120 According to the petitioners, these complaints did not lead to any kind of protection for Mr. Pacheco and his next of kin. 121 73. The Commission notes that the State did not challenge that said complaints had been filed nor did they provide any information about protection given or about the status of the investigations. B. Law 74. Bearing in mind the nature of the case and the inter-relationship between the actions of the State on the basis of domestic proceedings and the review to assign responsibility to the State, the Commission shall conduct a review of the law, first all, regarding the investigation and domestic proceedings in the light of the American Convention. Second, the Commission shall determine if the State of Honduras is responsible for the death of Mr. Pacheco León. 1.
