Moreover, it emphasized that the proceedings have remained for many years in the possession of different prosecutor’s offices and pointed out that “to date, nor the police or the prosecution authority had carried out a meaningful, thorough, and conscientious preliminary investigation, as warranted in cases of alleged crimes against humanity.” Therefore, it ordered the appropriate Provincial Criminal Prosecutor’s Office to directly take over this investigation and adopt a series of measures188. On April 11, 2007 the Prosecutor’s Office decided to expand the investigation and ordered the measures required by the Superior Court 189 . 145. This hindrance was also reflected on the several activities arisen as of 2005 190 in relation to the request to transfer the proceedings to the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Human Rights, which was investigating into the complaints filed against Vladimiro Montesinos and other people involved191. That request had a favorable resolution and therefore, since May 7, 2008 that Prosecutor’s Office is conducting the investigation192. 146. As to the investigations that link the then high-ranking government authorities to the forced disappearance of Mr. Anzualdo Castro, none of the two investigations had resulted in the prosecution and possible conviction of the responsible. In the proceedings against Montesinos, the investigation regarding Mr. Anzualdo Castro was consolidated in May 2008 (supra para. 145) and up to the present, no information about the progress of such investigation has been reported to this Court. 187 Cf. Decision issued by the Office of the Second Special Criminal Prosecutor for Organized Crime in case file Nº 02-2007 of March 20, 2007 (record of evidence, volume V, Appendix 19 to the application, page 1794). 188 The Office of the Second Prosecutor ordered, among other measures, to take certain statements or “declarations”; collect information on the career and non-commissioned officers who were on duty October and December 1993; obtain certified copies of the evidence provided by the next -of -kin of the victims and procedural documentation that were related to the disappearance of Kenneth Ney Anzualdo Castro and Martin Javier Roca Casas, contained in the record of case 45-03 before the Special Chamber of the Supreme Court; amended signed statement from Ricardo Manuel Uceda Pérez.
