discipline or law was infringed; nevertheless, it is highly likely that persons engaged in drug trafficking activities are involved in these illegal actions.”100 108. As described by the State, a "breakdown" of preliminary inquiry PGJM/AMPME/CDJUAREZ/196-II-IV/2010 carried out by the Attorney General's Office for Military Justice was incorporated into the preliminary inquiry being conducted by the Chihuahua Delegation of the PGR.101 The State did not explain what the above-mentioned "breakdown" consisted of nor does any further information appear in the case file about whether it was a partial or total remittance of what had been investigated by military criminal justice. 109. After the shelving of the preliminary inquiry on January 3, 2012, preliminary inquiry AP/PGR/DGCAP/ZNO-II/1ª/2012102 started, and as a part of it a series of steps were taken;103 nevertheless, on February 9, 2012, the Directorate General for Monitoring Preliminary Inquiries declined to take jurisdiction on territorial grounds and referred the case to the Chihuahua Delegation of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic.104 Because of that, on February 13, 2012, the Chihuahua Delegation of the PGR started preliminary inquiry AP/PGR/CHIH/JUA/467/2012-XI-A, for the crimes of abuse of authority and forced disappearance.105 As indicated below this preliminary inquiry was joined to others which were being conducted by the same investigative authority. 3. District Attorney's Office for Justice of the State of Chihuahua (Procuraduría General de Justicia Estado Chihuahua―PGJE-Chihuahua) 110. On December 31, 2009, Patricia Reyes (mother of Rocío Irene Alvarado Reyes ) and María de Jesús Alvarado (sister of Nitza Paola Alvarado Espinoza) appeared at the Attorney General's Office for Justice of the State with the Public Ministry of the regular jurisdiction of Buenaventura Chihuahua, where they filed a complaint with an official of the Public Ministry, Aarón Enríquez Duarte, for the incidents that occurred on December 29, 2009 to the detriment of Nitza Paola Alvarado Espinoza, Rocío Irene Alvarado Reyes, and José Ángel Alvarado Herrera.106 100 As part of the considerations to decide shelving the case, the Official of the Public Ministry deemed : a) that the complaints filed by María de Jesús Alvarado Espinoza and Patricia Reyes Rueda are ambiguous because the pointed out that their next of kin were taken by persons dressed as military but do provide specifics about the latter that would make it possible to identify military personnel located in the entity where the incidents took place; b) it is only the civilian Patricia Reyes Rueda who is sure of the facts; c) military personnel of the Military Garrison of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, are attached to the Fifth Military Region and its jurisdiction does not extend up to the Municipality of Buenaventura, Chihuahua; d) the 35th Infantry Battalion did not conduct any operations as of December 26, 2009 in Buenaventura, Chihuahua; e) the military personnel were not in charge of the motor vehicle from which Nitza Paola Alvarado Espinoza and José Ángel Alvarado Herrera were taken; f) there is no army officer called “Meza”; g) the civilians Nitza Paola Alvarado Espinoza, Rocío Irene Alvarado Reyes, and José Ángel Alvarado Herrera were not found to be detained in the facilities of the 35th Infantry Battalion on the basis of the inspection that was carried out.
