19 issues of jurisdiction arose among the prosecutors.49 As of September 5, 2005, more than 15 years after the murders, and more than four years after the complaint filed by the next of kin, the investigations in the case were reopened; they were then, and still are, in their initial stages.50 The Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission 77. Regarding the facts of the case, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (CVR) devoted a chapter of its Final Report to the Rodrigo Franco Commando. In this chapter the CVR examined several cases in which the Rodrigo Franco Commando took part; they included the death of Saúl Cantoral-Huamaní and Consuelo García-Santa Cruz.51 In the Report, the CVR stated “that there are sufficient credible elements to affirm that the group calling itself the ‘Rodrigo Franco Commando’ existed in [Peru] as a paramilitary organization” and went on to refer to its formation, organization, and methods of operation. According to the CVR, this paramilitary commando was supported by a small number of police agents, members of GRUDE (the Police Special Operations Directorate Group) and DIRCOTE, acting under the command of the Minister of the Interior.52 78. In particular, the CVR stated in its Final Report that “information existed for it to be plausibly assumed that individuals who allegedly belonged to this Commando were responsible [...for the] murders of the trade union leader, Saúl Cantoral-Huamaní, and of Consuelo García.”53 ii) Concerning the State’s responsibility for the acts to which Saúl Cantoral-Huamaní and Consuelo García-Santa Cruz were subjected 49 Cf.

Consequently, the Second Prosecutor asked the latter to forward the reports directly, but the Deputy Manager of the Central Files advised that his files did not include the autopsy reports of the alleged victims.) He obtained from the Ombudsman’s Office the transcript of the CVR public hearings of cases in Lima, a VHS tape, and an audio tape containing a CVR interview with Ulises Cantoral Huamaní; he received a preliminary statement from Rosa Amelia García-Santa Cruz, Consuelo Santa Cruz’s sister; he sent an official letter to the Anglo-American Clinic requesting information on the medical care received by Saúl Isaac Cantoral-Huamaní between July and August 1988; he summoned several persons to make preliminary statements; he requested a graphology report from the Criminalistic Directorate of the Peruvian National Police on a manuscript found near the place where the bodies of the alleged victims were discovered, and also a ballistics report on the bullets and cartridge cases found at the site of the facts, and forensic reports on the body of Consuelo García Santa Cruz.
