32 as Antonio Gamarra showed up at the house and got them a taxi to help them move.183 In his statement, Mr. Centurión Vega indicated that he had received constant visits from strangers and the police at his home, and that he feared for his safety.184 However, on April 12, 2002, both witnesses appeared before the public prosecutor's office and stated that on January 30 they received police visits, and that representative (diputado) Luis Alberto Wagner went to their home and took them to the public prosecutor's office. The representative told Mr. Centurión Vega that “it was for [his] own safety,” and that “everything had been done by these police officers, and that [he] should name them, a man with the last name Gamarra and another with the last name Schembori.”185 He also indicated that Mrs. Cristina Arrom “told him that he should urgently make a statement to the public prosecutor in the case[,] that everything was for [his] safety.” In this regard, he stressed that he testified under pressure from Luis Alberto Wagner and Cristina Arrom, who forced him to involve Mr. Gamarra and Mr. Schémbori.186 He also indicated that after the appearance of Juan Arrom and Anuncio Martí, he received constant threats.187 Mrs. Salinas de Lugo confirmed that her husband had told her that they should do what Deputy Wagner and Cristina Arrom said, otherwise their life was in danger, and that was when they made their first statement.188 She clarified that she was rectifying her statement now that “the scare is over,” explaining that Cristina Arrom and her sisters said they had to name Antonio Gamarra in the statement.189 119. This Court notes that there is no record in the case file that the threats raised by Mr. Centurión Vega and Mrs. Salinas de Lugo were investigated, nor what was indicated in their second statement. However, this is not a sufficient reason to not take into account that they retracted their statements regarding having seen Mr. Gamarra in the house where the alleged victims were found, because no elements have been included in the case file to suspect or question said retraction. Therefore, the initial statements of Mr. Centurión Vega and Mrs. Salinas de Lugo do not constitute evidentiary elements that corroborate the participation of state agents in the deprivation of liberty of the alleged victims. 120. On the other hand, the Court considers that there is no evidence, beyond the statements of the alleged victims, about the other places where they were detained. B.2 The conclusions of the criminal investigation carried out on the facts 121. In the investigation carried out about the facts of this case, diverse information supporting the innocence of the state agents identified by the alleged victims was received. Based on this information, the domestic investigation ended in a definitive dismissal and the dismissal of the individual criminal complaints (supra para. 82). The Court will proceed to summarize the conclusions that led to the definitive dismissal of the investigation and the complaints. Cf. Statement of Esteban Domingo Centurión Vega of January 31, 2002 before the prosecutor (evidence file, fs. 4711); Testimony of Esteban Domingo Centurión Vera of January 31, 2002, before the Fair and Guard Criminal Guarantee Judge (evidence file, fs. 4754 and 4755), and Testimony of Ángela Estefanía Salinas de Lugo of January 31, 2002, before the Criminal Judge of Fair and Duty Guarantees (evidence file, fs. 4757 and 4758).
