4. On the recovery of the identity of the Larrabeiti Yáñez siblings 69. In 1979, María Bernabela Herrera Sanguinetti, a Uruguayan who was then in charge of the UNHCR office in Chile, received a letter from the president of La Cimade, a French organization that worked with migrants and refugees, indicating that a Chilean social worker who had reached the city of Caracas, Venezuela, on seeing a photo of the Larrabeiti Yáñez siblings, indicated that they could be two children she saw in Valparaíso. Ms. Herrera asked Clamor, a Brazilian organization that worked with UNHCR and that had an office in Valparaíso, to verify the information. On verifying that the information was accurate they contacted Ms. Angélica Cáceres, who travelled to Valparaíso in July 1979. The grandmother, along with Ms. Herrera, went to the school where Anatole was studying and the director called in the adoptive father, who went to the school to meet with Ms. Cáceres. After talking in private, they became convinced that they were the grandchildren that Ms. Cáceres had been looking for the past three years.55 70. On August 2, 1979 Ms. Cáceres, in the name of her husband and Ms. Andrijauskaite, signed a notarial certificate with Mr. Larrabeiti and Ms. Yáñez, establishing the biological filiation of the children, setting forth both their biological names (Anatole Boris and Victoria Eva Julien Grisonas), and their adoptive names (Anatole Alejandro Larrabeiti Yáñez and Claudia Victoria Larrabeiti Yáñez). Ms. Cáceres also consented to the adoption and it was agreed that the siblings would maintain ties with their biological family.56 E. On administrative reparations 71. On August 22, 1995 the Larrabeiti Yáñez siblings applied for the benefits of Law No. 24,411 and, at their request, on June 2, 1997, the judgment was handed down of absence due to forced disappearance of Mario Julien and Victoria Grisonas in the terms of Law No. 24,321.57 Based on the information provided by the State, the Larrabeiti Yáñez siblings began the administrative process established in Law 24,411 for obtaining reparations for the forced disappearance of their biological parents (Case No. 33,011/12 in the name of Grisonas, Victoria Lucía, and Case No. 30,246/12 in the name of Julien, Mario Roger). Given the existence of a civil action against the State, which will be described below, those cases were apparently provisionally archived, and then were reactivated on November 27, 2017.58 There is no information in the record before the IACHR that indicates that the Larrabeiti Yáñez siblings have continued the process or obtained the respective reparations. 72. In addition, according to the information available, Victoria and Anatole Larrabeiti Yáñez began the administrative procedure established in Law No. 25,914 for obtaining reparations for their own detentions at “Orletti” (Cases No. 66,255/17 and No. 55,600/16 respectively). Initially these procedures were archived because of the existence of a civil action against the State over the same facts; they were reactivated in 2016.59 Nor is there any information in the record before the IACHR that indicates that the Larrabeiti Yáñez siblings have continued the process or obtained the respective reparations.
