81. According to the Ecuadorian Truth Commission, most human rights violations committed by police or military personnel have not been punished. Nor have their perpetrators been brought to trial and sentenced.78 82. The IACHR had no information regarding the outcome of the efforts undertaken to investigate the whereabouts of the alleged victim until 2014, when the State reported that: In response to the request by members of the Truth Commission appointed by the Executive, on July 29, 2009, the Ministry of Defense, through the head of the cabinet of ministers, Mr. Gustavo Martínez Espíndola, remitted Official Letter No. 2009-130-G-2-3-b3 of July 29, 2009, signed by General Fabián Varela, Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces, in reply to the request for information, which states that the Navy and Air Force Intelligence Directorates "have no information regarding Peruvian citizens detained in the country between January and August 1995" along with Official Letter No.2009-243-Ñ -D-c4-c of July 27, 2009, in which Colonel Jaime Castillo Arias, (Acting) Director of Army Intelligence provides a list of Peruvian citizens detained between January and August 1995, in which Jorge Vásquez Durand's name does not appear. On September 6, 2011, through Personnel Action No.2744-ORH-FGE, dated August 21, 2011, signed by Dr. Galo Chiriboga Zambrano, Attorney General, [the inquiry?] was transferred to the Prosecutor's Office for Miscellaneous Matter and Traffic in the Huaquillas district, which was run at the time by Prosecutor/Attorney Bolívar Enrique Figueroa Arévalo, who states that his Office was processing Preliminary Investigation No. 178-2010 into the alleged disappearance of Peruvian citizen Mr. Jorge Vásquez Durand. That action requested the migration record for Peruvian citizen Jorge Vásquez Durand and others for the year 1995, which was sent in Official Letter No. 094-SJMH-PN, dated February 17, 2011, by Police Second Lieutenant Willington Gómez Echeverría, with the migration records of Peruvian citizen Mr. JORGE VÁSQUEZ DURAND, showing that he last left Ecuador on January 30, 1995, that is to say, on a date after his alleged disappearance. Subsequently, the Provincial Director of Tourism in Imbabura was asked to certify the existence of the "Hotel La Posada," at which, purportedly, Peruvian citizen Jorge Vásquez Durand had been staying at the time of his alleged disappearance. The certification obtained indicates that there is no such "Hotel La Posada"; rather there was an establishment called "La Posada del Quinde." Also requested was the list of names of the policemen on guard at the Migration Office for the district of Huaquillas on January 30, 1995, the date on which Peruvian citizen Jorge Vásquez Durand is registered as having left the country. No reply was received to that request. On June 16, 2014, Dr. Diego Peñafiel,, Director of the Truth and Human Rights (E) Commission, reported that the case of Mr. Jorge Vásquez Durand was being investigated by Dr. Gina Gómez de la Torre and was at the Preliminary Investigation phase. On June 19, 2014, attorney Cristina Margarita Silva, a cabinet advisor in the Ministry of the Interior, reported that the National Directorate of Crimes against Life, Violent Deaths, Disappearances, Extortion and Kidnappings (DINASED) had conducted exhaustive inquiries nationwide into the disappearance of Mr. Jorge Vásquez Durand, to no avail. However, the State would continue to be attentive to any investigations that unit may undertake.79 78 Appendix 37. Report of the Truth Commission of Ecuador. 2007. Executive Summary.
