cooperative that precisely “beloged to sympathizers of the […] EZLN.”51 Antonio lived with his family in the residence that was located in the store itself in Sabanilla.52 35. According to his wife’s statement, Antonio was a member of the EZLN civilian grassroots support and an active member of the PRD. 53 The person allegedly responsible for his disappearance, Juan López, also identified Antonio González as a Zapatista.54 Additionally, the EZLN Good Governance Junta (Junta de Buen Gobierno) confirmed Antonio González’s membership in the civilian grassroots support of the EZLN and attributed his disappearance to “members of the Desarrollo, Paz y Justicia paramilitary group.”55 36. Additionally, Juan López was identified by the victim’s wife and by the Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de las Casas of belonging to Paz y Justicia,56 even though he denied it.57 However, in a statement to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, he said that his family members were P.R.I. members.58 The Commission notes that in the file of the instant case two communications appear from the non-profit organization “Desarrollo, Paz y Justicia,” noting that Juan López does not belong to the organization.59 In this regard, the Commission considers there to be sufficient evidence that said organization was formally incorporated in order to make the paramilitary structure Paz y Justice appear legal and be able to secure financing from the State of Chiapas and, therefore, Juan López’s link to the paramilitary group cannot be ruled out based on such communications. 37. On January 18, 1999, at approximately twelve midnight, Antonio González left his residence in Sabanilla, Chiapas, heading in the direction of the Sabanilla river, which was in the vicinity of his residence, together with Juan López, who would sell him a gun that he claimed had been stashed in that location.60 Before leaving, Antonio González told his wife Sonia López that he would be back at around 1:00 AM and he asked her to wait up to unlock the door for him.61 Nonetheless, Antonio González never came back home.62 Juan López claimed that after completing the sale next to the river, Antonio González headed on foot toward the El Calvario sector where he would hide the gun, heading toward Santa Catarina, and that he [Juan] headed to Pasijá de Morelos,63 arriving there at about 3:00 AM.64 38. After unsuccessfully searching for her husband, on January 20, 1999, Sonia López reported his disappearance to the Municipal Judge of Sabanilla, Chiapas. 65 As from that moment, an investigation was opened by that Municipal Court, which was then transferred on January 22 of the same year to the Office of the Public Prosecutor of Yajalón, Chiapas, where a pretrial investigation was opened against Juan López for Annex 01.
