96 for loss of earnings both during the time he was detained and for reduction of his ability to conduct his normal work activities. b) Consequential damages 237. Taking into account the claims of the parties, the body of evidence and the jurisprudence of the Court regarding this matter, the Court deems that compensation for pecuniary damages must also include: a) the expenses incurred by the next of kin of the victim in numerous trips, especially those made by Beatrice Baruet and, sometimes, by one of the daughters who accompanied her, to visit Daniel Tibi at the Penitenciaría del Litoral, and while she stayed there; the trip made by minor Sara Vachon to France in October 1995; and Daniel Tibi’s expenses to survive in prison. The Court deems it pertinent to set the amount, in fairness, at €7,870.00 (seven thousand eight hundred and seventy euros). Said amount must be given to Beatrice Baruet; b) Mr. Tibi’s 150 psychotherapy sessions. However, since vouchers were not provided to demonstrate said expenses, the Court sets the amount in fairness at €4,142.00 (four thousand one hundred and forty-two euros), which must be paid to Mr. Tibi; c) the victim’s expenses regarding special food, treatment for his hearing, eyesight, and respiratory problems, and other physical treatments. In this case, the Court sets the amount in fairness at €4,142.00 (four thousand one hundred and forty-two euros), which must be paid to Mr. Tibi; d) the expenses incurred for reparation of Mr. Tibi’s teeth, as well as purchase of dental prosthetics. While the file does not include suitable vouchers for all these expenses, the Court deems it proven that Mr. Tibi incurred certain expenses to care for dental problems (supra para. 90.50, 90.52 and 90.53) and, therefore, sets the amount in fairness at €16,570.00 (sixteen thousand five hundred and seventy euros), which must be paid to Mr. Tibi; and e) the goods and securities that were seized by the police from Daniel Tibi at the time of his detention, and which have still not been returned to the victim. This Court notes that, as it declared in another chapter of the instant Judgment (supra para. 220), the goods and securities seized belonged to Mr. Tibi, but it does not have the respective appraisal. Therefore, this Court orders the return of said goods and securities by the State, within six months of notification of the instant Judgment, and if this were not possible it sets the amount, in fairness, at €82,850.00 (eighty-two thousand eight hundred and fifty euros) which must be paid to Mr. Tibi as the value of the goods seized, including his Volvo brand vehicle. On the other hand, regarding the use of the debit and credit cards seized from Mr. Tibi, specifically the US$6,000.00 (six thousand United States dollars) that Mr. Tibi argues were taken from his bank account, as well as the use of the credit card for expenses adding up to US$4,857.00 (four thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven United States
