14 legal obligation to undertake this search, an obligation it cannot evade by pleading its federal structure or any other administrative argument. 58. To determine the material damages suffered, in the instant case it seems reasonable to identify the expenses incurred and lost earnings that the claimants sustained. In the instant case, the Court must first ascertain what family, labor, business, farm, industrial or any other type of activity suffered a loss by virtue of the victims’ deaths and who the injured parties are. Secondly, it must ascertain who has sustained a loss of income owing to the victim’s disappearance. 59. The relatives of Adolfo Garrido state that he worked as a carpenter. This appears in various places in his police record, while elsewhere he is shown as a day laborer, someone with no profession, or as a tradesman. The claimants submitted no credible evidence to show what businesses Mr. Garrido worked for, when he worked there, what salary or wage he received and what capital he had. Nor did they present any evidence to show that he lived in the home of one of the claimants or assisted them economically. One piece of evidence that speaks to his lifestyle is his police record and his prison records. It has not been shown that either the mother or any other family of Adolfo Garrido received any type of economic support from him and hence did not suffer any material damages owing to his death. 60. The situation of Raúl Baigorria is similar to that of the other victim. While his relatives state that he worked as a bricklayer, his police dossier, where he also appears by the name of Jorge Alberto Díaz González, shows him as a peddler, a day laborer, an individual with no profession, a tradesman and a stonemason. There is no evidence that his siblings received any form of economic assistance from him or that he lived with any of them. Nor is there any evidence to show that he provided support for his natural children. Furthermore, according to his police and court records, he did not engage in any regular productive activity with any degree of continuity. Given these circumstances, one can conclude that the disappearance of Raúl Baigorria did not cause his family any economic damage or deprive any member of his family of economic support, since no evidence was shown that he had ever provided such support. 61. For the reasons set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Court denies the request for payment of material damages, because no such damages were proven. 62. As for the moral damages caused by the disappearance of Adolfo Garrido, the principal person affected is his mother, Ms. Rosa Sara Calderón. As the Court pointed out earlier (supra 49), these damages do not require evidence as it is clear that the disappearance of her son caused his mother very grave suffering, particularly given the circumstances under which it occurred by reason of the reprehensible conduct of certain public servants in the Province of Mendoza involved in the instant case. One must also consider that as her son’s heir, Ms. Rosa Sara Calderón succeeded him in the right to be compensated for the suffering he sustained in life. The Court believes that a fair figure for the total compensation for moral damages owed to Ms. Calderón is US$75,000 (seventy five thousand United States of America dollars). 63. The siblings of Adolfo Garrido also claim they are entitled to compensation for moral damages. However, they offered no proof of an affective relationship such that the disappearance of their brother would have caused them grievous suffering. Some live more than 1,000 kilometers from where Mr. Garrido lived and there is no
