Hildo Ambrosio Trino, Andrés Miranda Clemente, Lorenzo Leman Bonaparte, Bernardo Julián Trino, José Trino Pérez Nacril, Rómulo Flores Henríquez, and Amilton Bonaparte Clemente 101. According to their labor complaint, on March 15, 2000, Hildo Ambrosio Trino, Andrés Miranda Clemente, Lorenzo Leman Bonaparte, Bernardo Julián Trino, José Trino Pérez, Rómulo Flores Henríquez, and Amilton Bonaparte Clemente were working as divers on the fishing vessel Langoster or Capital Lewis owned by Lewis Delano Gough. The butane fuel tank of said vessel blew up, which led to a fire.126 Mirna Manuel Tinto, wife of Andrés Miranda, stated that, according to the testimonies of the divers who were on other vessels, the alleged victims had to jump overboard.127 102. Six of the divers, Andrés Miranda Clemente, Lorenzo Leman Bonaparte, Bernardo Julián Trino, José Trino Pérez, Rómulo Flores Henríquez, and Amilton Bonaparte Clemente, disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown.128 Some of the next of kin of the alleged victims indicated that they never found their bodies.129 As for Hildo Ambrosio, his daughter declared that they received the burnt remains of her father and that they buried him.130 The mother of Amilton Bonaparte indicated that one of the persons who worked on said vessel as a sacabuzos [an intermediary for hiring the divers] only rescued the captain but not the other persons. She indicated that, when she called him out on this, he threatened her with a gun and told her not to report the incidents. She added that, in 2014, the same sacabuzos had shot a diver on the high seas and that these incidents had not been investigated.131 103. On February 25, 2002, the next of kin of the seven deceased persons filed a labor complaint with the Departmental Civil Court against Lewis Delano Gough.132 According to a 2008 report on the status of the proceedings, they were still in the initial stage. 133 According to the attorney of the complainants, the standstill in the proceedings stems from the inquiry about whether the respondent is acquiring more assets, apart from his fishing vessel, so that they could be seized.134 104. Some of the next of kin of the alleged victims stated in 2012 and 2014 that no progress had been made in the proceedings and that they had not received any compensation for what had happened.135 The Interview with Ex Dereck Claro on August 6, 2012.
