possession had been duly reported.

Rights and International Humanitarian Law Unit took up the case and ordered the taking of
evidence. It requested information from the PGN on the disciplinary proceedings (supra paras.

On May 26, 2011, the 48th Specialized Prosecutor’s Office of the National Human Rights
and International Humanitarian Law Unit, which had intervened in 2008, approved Candelaria
Vergara’s request to take part as a civil party. 107 On September 13, 2011, it agreed to the civil
party’s request to seek evidence by, among other things, requesting information from the
Information System on Cadavers and Disappeared Persons and the Single Virtual Information
Center (CUVI) on the exhumations of bodies that might be Mr. Movilla’s. It also ordered that
samples be taken from his relatives, and that Messrs. H.J.C.R., Bohórquez and P.J.P.D. be
located in order to take statements from them. 108

On June 8, 2012, the FGN asked the Intelligence Directorate of the National Police and
the Military Intelligence Directorate, as a matter of urgency, to inform it if there was any record
of a person identifying himself with the number 88 and using the alias “Milton,” between 1992
and 1994.109 On July 11, 2012, the Judicial Police reported that neither entity had replied.110 On
August 4, 2012, the Military Intelligence Directorate reported that it had no such notes.111
99.
Between March 2013 and February 2014, following requests from the civil party, 112 the
FGN ordered the taking of certain evidence. The Ministry of National Defense was asked to send
it “a copy of all reports, notes and, in general, any data” on Pedro Movilla, and to “physically
locate” various “legal proceedings” brought against P.J.P.D. for different crimes.113 Moreover, on
March 6 and April 16, 2013, both P.J.P.B. and retired General I.R.Q. rendered statements.114
