In said document, there is record that the Police carried out a verification in the Bank of
Guayaquil in relation to the check that the alleged victim would have received and cashed on the day of his
disappearance, as recorded on the obverse, said check would have been cashed on November 12, 1990, that is,
at a time after his disappearance. The police added, that they received the response that checks cashed by the
“deferred system” are sealed with the date of the following day and, in this case, the check was cashed on Friday
and, therefore, it carried the date of Monday November 12, 1990.

It further states, that hospitals, clinics, assistance homes, morgues, detainment centers, among
others, were visited to obtain indications of the disappearance of the alleged victim; and that verifications were
carried out through the migration dependencies “in case Mr. CÉSAR GUSTAVO GARZON GUZMAN could have
left the country for any reason, but the results of these proceedings were negative because there is not any
recorded movement of said person.”78

In the police report, it is indicated that the police will continue “with the corresponding

Police Investigation: third information report
106.
On August 22, 1994 the Second Lieutenant of the Police issued a new information report
informing about the status of the investigations undertaken in relation to the disappearance of the alleged
victim. In said writing, the Second Lieutenant of the Police referred to the facts of the disappearance of the
alleged victim in the following terms:
1.
That when carrying out a detailed analysis of the content of Report No. 4911-SICP,
dated August 10, 1989, we find that through the versions (sic) of CÉSAR GARZON, other active
members of the subversive movement or group “Montoneras Patria Libre” were apprehended,
and in light that the citizen GARZON GUZMAN, three months after having obtained his
freedom, disappears without leaving any trace, it is presumed that unidentified subjects
belonging to the same subversive group are related with the disappearance, without having
to-date obtained any information about his whereabouts.82
