-5Treasury would “take all appropriate measures to secure effective payment of the amount due on account of arrearage interest,” a request that is being processed and was re-submitted through the official letter of January 25, 2006. The State noted that the amount due on account of arrearage interest is ¢155,799.00 (one hundred and fifty-five thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine colones), at a rate of 2% p.a., and computed from February 6 to August 24, 2005.

The brief of February 28, 2006 and the Appendixes thereto, whereby the victim’s representatives submitted their comments on the State’s report of January 30, 2006 (supra Having Seen clause No. 7) and on the communications filed by the State on October 19 and November 29, 2005 (supra Having Seen clauses No. 4 and 5), regarding compliance with the Court’s Judgment delivered in the instant case on July 2, 2004 (supra Having Seen clause No. 1), further to the third operative paragraph of the Court’s Order of September 12, 2005 (supra Having Seen clause No. 2).
