51. On April 23, 1999, the Angaraes Joint Prosecutor’s Office brought formal charges against the following officers: PNP Captain Roberto Gastiaburú Nakada, PNP Lieutenant Claudio Gutiérrez Velásquez, and PNP noncommissioned Officer Adolfo Ángeles Ramos, for committing the crime against humanity of forced disappearance, to the detriment of Walter Munárriz Escobar. 32 On April 26 of that year, the court in question opened a probable cause proceeding against these three officers and issued a warrant for their arrest.33 52. On June 24, 1999, the court expanded the proceeding to include PNP noncommissioned officers Gunther Cuaresma Ramos, Percy Bladimir Salvatierra, and Carlos Hugo Valdivia Urrutia, also issuing arrest warrants for them.34 In that decision, the Joint Angaraes-Liray Court decided as follows: […] As described by the representative of the Public Prosecutor, evidence and presumptions arise from the proceedings but they depart from the actual facts, those members of the police force also participated in the disappearance of the injured minor, since on the night of the events he was turned over to the police station by PNP noncommissioned officer Cuaresma Ramos, without any documents, and when advised of the events only on the following day, he made them up, at the order of his superiors; and, to cover up his responsibility, he falsified the truth by saying that he made the respective document available to the officer responsible for reports and assistance on duty, which was not the case. Similarly, PNP noncommissioned officer Percy Bladimir Salvatierra Lauda gave contradictory versions of his actions during the night of the events, and coincidentally Cuaresma Ramos, Valdivia Urrutia, and PNP Captain Gastiaburü Nakada went on an unannounced visit in the police station’s Comancar vehicle to the Julcani mining settlement, taking their time only in their travel to that place, an excessive time of over two hours; these acts lead us to the conviction that the three police officers also participated in the events under investigation […].35 53.
