4 of Mendoza when they were driving around in a vehicle. This event took place in the General San Martín Park in the City of Mendoza. According to the witnesses, the men were questioned (or detained) by at least four police agents wearing uniforms of the mobile division of the Mendoza Police, who were traveling in two cars belonging to that security force. 11. This incident was communicated to the family of Garrido approximately one hour later, by Ramona Fernández, who heard of the occurrence through the account of an eyewitness. 12. The family of Garrido had immediately initiated a search. They were worried because there was a judicial order of detention out against him. The family asked Attorney Mabel Osorio to locate Garrido. The result of the inquiry was that Mr. Adolfo Garrido was not found to be detained at any police division. Nevertheless, at the Fifth Police Station of Mendoza the family found the vehicle in which Garrido and Baigorria had been traveling at the time of their detention. The police told them that the vehicle had been found in the General San Martín Park as a result of an anonymous call claiming that there was an abandoned car there. 13. On April 30, 1990, Attorney Osorio filed a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Garrido, and on May 3 Attorney Oscar A. Mellado also filed a writ on behalf of Baigorria. Both writs were processed by the Fourth Court of Investigation of the Mendoza Province and were rejected for failure to prove deprivation of liberty. 14. On May 2, 1990, the family of Garrido filed a formal complaint with the Public Prosecutor on duty, alleging the forced disappearance of both persons. This proceeding took place in the Fourth Court of Investigation of the First Judicial District and was identified as No. 60.099. When Esteban Garrido, brother of one of the victims, answered the summons to testify, he met a police officer named Geminiani at the Court. Mr. Geminiani acknowledged that a photograph of Adolfo Garrido had been shown by a police agent to the owners of a business that had been held up, and that the police “were looking for him.” These statements were recorded in the judicial record. 15. The application provides the names of the eyewitnesses who saw Garrido and Baigorria detained and taken away by police personnel. 16. The families of the disappeared reported the events to the Committee on Rights and Guarantees of the Chamber of Representatives and to the Senators of the Mendozan Legislature on May 2 and 11, 1990, respectively. They did not receive an answer. 17. On September 19, 1991, Esteban Garrido presented a new writ of habeas corpus on behalf of both disappeared before the First Court of Investigation of Mendoza. It was rejected. He appealed this decision to the Third Criminal Chamber of Mendoza, which denied the appeal on November 25, 1991. 18. On November 20, 1991, Esteban Garrido became the civil plaintiff in Action No. 60.099, which was brought before the Fourth Court of Investigation of the First Judicial District of Mendoza (supra, para. 14).
