who owned or ran RCA.125 Following up on this, the owners of the building in which RCA had its offices was questioned, and they provided the names of two individuals who rented the said building.126 Although these individuals were summoned to appear as witnesses by means of an official telegram,127 the case file does not show that any other measure was taken when they failed to come forward, or any other action to verify whether those individuals were indeed the owners of the maquila company, to investigate their place of residence, or to gather further information in order to try and contact them, among other possible actions. 80. Additionally, several statements received during the investigation mentioned another four Koreans who supposedly ran the said company. 128 On this basis, the migratory movements of these four individuals was requested. 129 In response, the Migration Directorate indicated that their “files did not reveal any record.”130 Therefore, it was concluded that those individuals were in Guatemala in an irregular migratory condition. 131 Information on the said individuals was also requested from the Traffic Department and the Identification Office, with negative results.132 However, the case file does not record the measures taken to verify the complete names of those individuals, or any other information that would identify them. Moreover, the Court underlines that no other measure was taken with regard to those individuals and they were not summoned to appear. 81. Meanwhile, during the public hearing held in this case, the State asserted that Mr. Gómez Virula’s disappearance and death was due to his romantic relationship with another man’s wife. In this regard, the Court notes that an investigation report indicates that “confidential information” had been obtained indicating that Mr. Gómez Virula was in a relationship with SRM, the wife of an individual known as “El Pirata.” In addition, in a statement, ECG indicated that when he took leave of the alleged victim on the day of his disappearance, “this was at the entrance to Colonia Juana de Arco” and that he knew that the alleged victim “had some problems in this community.”133 The investigation report of March 24 adds that ECG had stated that Mr. Gómez Virula “had entrusted him with important information that, in Colonia Juana de Arco, he had problems with the husband of a woman he was seeing, because her husband had realized this.”134 In the report, the name of SRM has been added by hand.135 Cf.
