Disciplinary proceeding before the Police Department of Putumayo: on
January 24, 1991 the Investigative and Disciplinary Bureau of the Office of the
Commander of the Police Department of Putumayo opened a disciplinary proceeding
against the Agents of the National Police who had participated in the January 23,
1991 operation in Mocoa. On January 25, 1991 the investigative official declared the
investigation closed because he deemed that the police officers investigated were
not disciplinarily responsible for the death of the victims. On January 28, 1991 the
Commander of the Police Department of Putumayo endorsed “each and every part”
of the criterion of the investigative official and cleared the policemen investigated of
all disciplinary responsibility for the death of the victims.72

Office of the Attorney General of the Republic: On January 23, 1991, the

“preliminary disciplinary investigation” to conduct an investigation of the military and
police forces in Putumayo regarding the facts of the case and on February 22, 1991
it issued its “evaluative report” of the preliminary actions. On October 16, 1991 the
Visiting Attorney of the Delegate Government Attorneys’ Office for Human Rights
issued its evaluative report and concluded that the Police Department of Putumayo
“in record time,” five days after the facts, exonerated all the police staff who
participated in the operation at the school, “thus exhausting the administrative
proceedings,” and it recommended that the Police commander and the investigative
officer who were responsible for the decision on the disciplinary investigation be
investigated for possible malfeasance of office. 73
