impoverish the victim or his heirs.122 159. Regarding the amount requested by the representative for lost wages, the Court notes that although supporting documentation was provided, it does not allow for a precise determination of the amounts that would correspond to each year of service for different police ranks. Additionally, it is not feasible to assert that Mr. Mina Cuero would have been promoted to such ranks, especially when his resume shows two annotations regarding denied promotions.123 160. Therefore, since a violation of the victim's rights was declared in the proceeding that led to his dismissal, the Court sets, in equity, as compensation for lost profits from October 25, 2000 - the date on which the Disciplinary Court imposed the mentioned penalty - until the date of issuance of this judgment, the amount of $75,000.00 (seventy-five thousand United States dollars). D.2. Non-pecuniary damages 161. The representative pointed out that the State did not take the necessary measures to protect Mr. Mina Cuero from the arbitrary separation he was subjected to, which affected his life project of continuing as a police officer, achieving promotions, and consequently, accessing a retirement pension. They requested, as compensation for non-pecuniary damages, that the payment of $50,000.00 (fifty thousand United States dollars) be ordered to be made to the victim. 162. The State indicated that the representative did not allege "that [there] [was] a level of impact of particular intensity towards the victim," and therefore, due to the lack of evidence, the Court should dismiss the claim made. It requested that, in the event that the Court considers any possible reparation for this concept, the amount be determined in equity and in accordance with previous case law on the matter. 163. As to non-pecuniary damages, the Court has determined that it can understand both the suffering and afflictions caused to the direct victim and the persons close to him, as well as the harm to values that are very significant to people, and also the alterations of a nonpecuniary nature to conditions of existence of the victim or his family.124 164. In the specific case, to prove non-pecuniary damage, the Court has the statement of Mr. Mina Cuero, given in a public hearing, as well as the statement of Jenniffer Yomaira Holguín Méndoza, the victim's partner, from which various sufferings arising from the arbitrary dismissal procedure are evident.125 Based on the above and the specific circumstances of the case, the Court determines that the violations of due process suffered by Mr. Mina Cuero in the dismissal procedure resulted in moral harm to him. Therefore, in equity, the Court sets the amount of $15,000.00 (fifteen thousand United States dollars) as compensation for non- pecuniary damage. 122 Cf.
