37 survived him,130 namely: Dora Alicia Castillo Mendoza, Berta Lidia Mendoza and Oscar Castillo Mendoza, sisters and brother, respectively. 148. Based on the information provided by the representatives concerning the next of kin of Roberto Girón, the Court finds that the amount corresponding to the victim should be distributed in equal parts between his two sons.131 In their pleadings and motions brief, the representatives indicated that his sons were called Roberto Estuardo and Nolvia Concepción. Therefore, the Court establishes that, within one year of notification of this judgment, they must come forward and provide the necessary official information for their identification and proof of relationship to the State’s competent authorities. E. Reimbursement of expenses to the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund 149. In the instant case, the necessary financial assistance from the Fund was granted to cover the costs of the affidavits prepared by Dora Alicia Castillo Mendoza de Luna and Berta Lidia Mendoza, as well as the testimonial statement of Edy Iván Bocanegra Conde; the expenses of the expert opinions of Luis Arroyo Zapatero, Enrique Oscar Stola, Alejandro Rodríguez Barillas and María Fernanda López Puleilo presented by affidavit. Also, for the other reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the defenders in this case who needed to have personal contact with the members of Pedro Castillo Mendoza’s family, travel, transfers, accommodation and per diem expenses for one inter-American defender were included. 150. In a note of the Court’s Secretariat of August 23, 2019, a report was forwarded to the State on the disbursements made in application of the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund in this case which amounted to US$1,271.54 (one thousand two hundred and seventy-one United States dollars and fifty-four cents) and, as stipulated in Article 5 of the Court’s Rules for the Operation of the Fund, Guatemala was granted a time frame for presenting any observations it deemed pertinent. The State presented its observations on September 2, 2019, contesting the payment of the expenses for the preparation of the affidavits of the members of Mr. Castillo Mendoza’s family because: (a) “it can be inferred that the State obtains no benefit from presenting observations, because the expenses for preparing the affidavits corresponding to [three deponents] were already paid by the Court […] under the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund, which signifies contradictorium situ,” and (b) it considered that “the honoraria charged by the notary for the affidavits is two-thirds greater than the average charged for similar acts by Guatemalan notaries,” and (c) regarding “the expenses for preparing and sending the [two expert opinions] […], the vouchers for those expense were not presented opportunely [… and] their content did not provide any information that the Court did not already have.” 151. In light of Article 5 of the Rules for the Operation of the Fund, owing to the violations declared in this judgment and that the requirements for access to the Fund were met, the Court orders the State to reimburse the said Fund the sum of US$1,271.54 (one thousand two hundred and seventy-one United States dollars and fifty-four cents) for the necessary disbursements made. This sum must be reimbursed within six months of notification of this judgment. The representatives indicated that the said members of Pedro Castillo Mendoza’s family who survive him are, his sisters, Dora Alicia and Berta Lidia, and brother, Oscar Castillo Mendoza; it was possible to locate them and they closely supported the victim during his trial and execution. At this time, his father, Emilio Castillo Gómez and his sister, Blanca Delia Castillo Mendoza, are deceased. 131 The representatives indicated that, in the case of Roberto Girón, it had not been possible to locate any member of his family at the date the pleadings and motions brief was submitted. However, the representatives also stated that a report prepared by a social worker indicated that Roberto Girón had two sons, Roberto Estuardo and Nolvia Concepción, with no further information. The representatives asked that they should also be provided with reparation as heirs of the direct victim. 130
