office, neglect and fraud were declared null and the Investigative Judge was
ordered to suspend the order limiting freedom of movement and the writ of
attachment issued against Mr. Cesti-Hurtado. By means of the Order of October
20, 2004, the Décimo Tercer Juzgado Penal de Lima (Thirteenth Criminal Court
in and for Lima) dismissed a criminal action brought against Mr. Cesti-Hurtado
for his alleged involvement in crimes against the Public Administration
committed by public officials, collusion and peculation to the detriment of the
State.

The comments on the State report submitted by Mr. Cesti-Hurtado on February
21, 2005, and its Appendixes, in which he stated that:
a)
to date, the State has not paid default interest on the amount awarded
for pecuniary damages;
b)
Messrs. Raúl Talledo-Valdivieso and Guido Guevara-Guerra were only
convicted for failing to comply with the writ of habeas corpus in favor of Mr.
Cesti-Hurtado. No person has been investigated in relation to his irregular
detention and deprivation of liberty. In addition, on account of having been
regarded as a witness and not as an aggrieved party in the criminal action
brought against some of the former members of the Consejo Supremo de
Justicia Militar (Supreme Council of Military Justice) he has not been notified of
the progress of said criminal proceedings; nor has he been able to avail himself
of the remedies afforded by law to the parties to a proceeding;
c)
the amount payable under the arbitration award must be paid out of
FEDADOI’s funds. Payment of any compensation awarded by the InterAmerican Court has always been made out of FEDADOI’s funds, as was the case
with the compensation for moral damage in the instant case; however, the
procedure for the payment of the compensation for pecuniary damages has
been altered by Law No. 27,775. As a result, he has been discriminated against,
as a victim, in the instant case in comparison to the treatment accorded to
other victims in other cases decided by the Inter-American Court who received
payments in timely fashion, and
d)
to date, no ruling has been entered to assure Mr. Cesti-Hurtado that “no
uncertainty remains about his rights.” The criminal record certificate issued by
the Judiciary included proceedings pending against him, which adversely affects
his employment opportunities. The State report includes information about a
fourth proceeding brought against him, of which he has not been notified yet.

The State report of March 11, 2005, stating that, by means of Official Letter No.

of Economy and Finance to take all necessary steps to process, pursuant to Law No.
27,775, a budget modification to allocate additional funds to enable settlement of all
outstanding payments ordered by the Inter-American Court on the part of Peru. The
State indicated that the case of Mr. Cesti-Hurtado is among these cases.
