35 the State has not carried out a complete investigation, given that some state authorities failed to fulfill their duty to collaborate with the examining judge in regards to the judicial inspection of the books containing the “arrivals and departures” records of the members of the San Benito Battalion of the extinct National Police. In the same way, prosecutorial investigation no. 34-00-03, which is open in order to investigate the possible participation of intellectual perpetrators in the homicide of Mr. García Prieto and the identification of the possible third party that may have been involved in the facts, the Court observes a lack of due diligence by the police and judicial authorities of El Salvador to act on their own motion. The Court also observes the delay of a determination by the judiciary which would conclude the investigation of the events. Consequently, the Court finds that a violation of the rights established in Articles 8(1) and 25(1) of the American Convention has occurred to the detriment of José Mauricio García Prieto Hirlemann and Gloria Giralt de García Prieto, in relation to Article 1(1) of the Convention. * * * 117. The Commission and the common intervener alleged that the personal integrity of the members of the García Prieto Giralt family has been affected by the insufficient investigation into the homicide of Mr. García Prieto carried out by the State.
