19 96. On April 8, 2002, the 27th Criminal Court of Lima requested that the Third Permanent Court of the Second Military Judicial District be contacted for it to report on the current state of the 89 proceedings against Antonio Evangelista Pinedo. 97. On October 25, 2002, the 27th Provincial Criminal Prosecutor found in favor of removing the file from the archive and continuing the proceedings, after receiving the Inter-American Court’s judgments of March 14 and September 3, 2001, in compliance with Article 151 of the Consolidated Text 90 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary. 98. On November 27, 2002, the 27th Criminal Judge recused himself from further hearing the proceedings before resolving the request for the case to be removed from the archive, pursuant to an administrative resolution issued on October 28, 1997 – in other words, almost 5 years previously – which 91 ruled that the court lacked jurisdiction over the substance of the case. 99. On January 21, 2003, the 16th Provincial Criminal Court of Lima ordered the case removed from the archive and the criminal trial reopened, and it extended the duration of the committal proceedings by 30 days for a series of formalities to be carried out or communicated and for instructions 92 to be given to the Judicial Police for the suspect’s location and arrest. 100. On May 19, 2003, the 16th Provincial Criminal Prosecutor of Lima asked the judge for an extension of 30 days for the committal proceedings, given that the investigation was still at an early 93 stage. This report sets out the formalities pursued to date, including the criminal background of the accused (no annotations) and his judicial background (with the annotation of having been convicted on 94 95 July 24, 1997, to a four-year custodial sentence for the crime of grievous bodily harm ). This report primarily based the request for the extension of the deadline for committal proceedings on the need to issue instructions to the competent authority for the suspect’s location and arrest, and to take witness 96 statements from the members of the Army patrol. 101. On June 9, 2003, the 16th Provincial Criminal Court of Lima informed the prosecutor that 97 the deadline for the committal proceedings had been extended by 30 days. On July 15, 2003, a witness statement was taken from Army Technician Third-Class Antonio Enrique Vivas Chapilliquen, the commander of the military patrol that included Sergeant Second-Class Evangelista Pinedo on August 9, 1994; in that statement he said that at no time did he order his troops to inspect or stop vehicles, and 89 Annex 50: Document of April 8, 2002, signed by the 27th Criminal Court of Lima, Superior Court of Justice of Lima.
