In the following two sections, this Tribunal will examine: a) the alleged threats and harassment suffered by members of the García Prieto Giralt family and b) the investigation of the threats and harassment. a) The alleged threats and harassment suffered by the members of the García Prieto Giralt family 139. It has been proven that José Mauricio García Prieto Hirlemann and Gloria Giralt de García Prieto have been subjected to threats and harassment, which have occurred with varying intensity. This Tribunal observes that in their testimonies before police and prosecutorial authorities, domestic courts, and the Inter-American Court, José Mauricio García Prieto Hirlemann and Gloria Giralt de García Prieto have stated that they and other members of their family have been the object of these acts and described how this has affected their physical and psychological health (supra para. 16(a), 16(d), 16(e) and 16(j)). Among these events, the following are notable: the event which occurred at the beach called “El Cuco”; the shots fired at their house in San Salvador by unknown individuals; the anonymous phone calls to their houses in San Miguel and San Salvador; the presence of unknown individuals that ask about the location of family members, in particular, José Mauricio García Prieto Hirlemann; and the incidents in which they are followed by unknown individuals, sometimes armed, riding in vehicles with tinted windows and sometimes without license plates (supra para. 129). In this sense, Gloria Giralt de García Prieto stated before the Court that: now, I would like it to be understood that we live in a routine of threats and that we cannot be filing complaints everyday that they are following us, that they called us on the phone at two in the morning, that they flashed their headlights at us, because to do Metropolitan Regional Division of Investigation of April 29, 2002 prosecutor’s file number 4799-UDV-2001, (exhibits to the brief containing pleadings and motions, exhibit 16, volume 9, page 6815). 96 Cf.
