That, in relation to the State’s obligation to “conduct the corresponding
investigations and apply the pertinent punishments to those responsible for failing to
abide by the judicial decisions delivered by the Peruvian courts during the
applications for protective measures filed by the victims” (operative paragraph six of
the Judgment of February 28, 2003), the State informed inter alia, at the private
hearing, that:
a)
“after the delivery of the Judgment and by virtue of it, Mr. Javier
Mujica Ruiz Huidobro filed a complaint8 against three superintendents of
Banks and Insurance for alleged offenses related to the non-compliance with
the protective measures”;
b)
“the Solicitor General, after the preliminary investigation, ordered9
that it was not acceptable to initiate an investigation against the former
officers who were denounced, inasmuch as there was a proceeding opened in
which the same facts were in dispute […]. Therefore, the public prosecutor’s
office decided not to accept the opening of an investigation and set aside the
complaint of Mr. Mujica”, and
c)
The judicial proceeding in process was conducted before "the 30°
Criminal Trial Court of Lima, in which it was investigated the officers of the
Superintendency in relation to the complaints for the reductions of the
victims' pensions. However, this investigation concluded with the ruling of a
court to the effect that there was no criminal responsibility on the part of the
officers so denounced. This decision of the trial court was upheld by the
Superior Court, [in] second instance […]. [In light of that situation], Mr.
Mujica filed a motion to annul against such decision of the Superior Court,
which was declared to be inadmissible. According to the Peruvian legislation
against such decision, a complaint appeal should be filed due to the
inadmissibility of the motion to annul. Remedy that was also denied;
therefore, the proceeding concluded”.

That at the private hearing and in the brief containing the observations to the
State's reports (supra Having Seen clauses 5, 8, 10 and 11), the victims'
representative indicated that "the judgment of the Court orders not only the opening
of an investigation but also the application of the pertinent punishments to the
responsible of these violations. [Such is] an affirmation […] clear and precise […]
that has been interpreted […] by the State as a simply obligations of means and not
of results. And these pensioners, as has been said, [l]ike others, filed criminal
remedies to try and obtain some guarantees of non-repetition, […] which were
absolutely ineffective and were permanently rejected, ensuring that the responsible
for these violations go unpunished". Furthermore, it indicated that “the impunity
