on February 6, 2006, the First Criminal Chamber of the District Superior Court upheld the decision of April 19, 2005.238 189. By May 15, 2006, all those standing trial had made their statements at trial and the public hearing opening oral arguments was pending. That hearing had not been held because rulings on the defendants’ motions first had to be delivered.239 On April 5, 2007, Ms. Andrade Salmón asked that the precautionary measures be cancelled, which in Interlocutory Decree No. 54.2007 of November 14, 2007 the court deemed to be a reasonable request and accordingly revoked the precautionary measures ordered in her case.240 Nevertheless, the order confining Ms. Andrade Salmón to the court’s jurisdiction was still in effect on October 30, 2008.241 190. On May 6, 2009, the inculpatory and exculpatory evidence in the case was being aired. From there, the case would move into the findings phase.242 191. In February 2012, the petitioners stated that the case against Ms. Andrade Salmón had been dismissed and had not been reopened as of that date. As there was no possibility that the case would be reopened, the dismissal of the case against her had become final. 6. Esin Case 192. As background to this case, the record shows that the Government of La Paz issued a call for public tenders, No. 2/97, for a contract for supervision of street sweeping and cleaning services and trash collection services in the city of La Paz. The contract for these services was awarded to the Empresa de Servicios Integrales ESIN S.R.L., with which the Mayor’s Office signed a contract on October 17, 1997.243 On June 2, 1998, the City Council of La Paz adopted a resolution in which it approved the agreement that ESIN and the Mayor of La Paz had signed on May 14, 1998, to terminate the contract based on the May 4, 1998 Report of the City Council’s Financial and Legal Committees, which found that the legal procedures had not been observed when selecting, ranking and awarding the contract to ESIN, and on the financial analysis done by the Council’s Financial Committee found that the contract had been very prejudicial to the City’s finances because of the rate increase, the financial cost it represented, and the subsidies that the city had to pay.244 Under that City Council resolution, the agreement to terminate the contract was reached as it was deemed to be in the interests of both parties.245 The City Council’s resolution of June 2, 1998 was signed by Ms. Andrade Salmón, in her capacity as President of the City Council.246 238 Annex 91.
