$300.00 (three hundred United States dollars); c) trips to Guatemala
to document and investigate the case, made by Ana Lucrecia Molina
Theissen and Emma Guadalupe Molina Theissen, expenses amounting
to US $2.100.00 (two thousand one hundred United States dollars);
and d) phone calls and faxes, adding up to US $200.00 (two hundred
United States dollars);
b(ii)
those caused by the disappearance of Marco Antonio Molina
Theissen, that is: a) constant and regular psychological treatment of
Emma Guadalupe Molina Theissen since 1984, amounting to US
$20,000.00 (twenty thousand United States dollars); b) psychological
treatment of Ana Lucrecia Molina Theissen since 1991, amounting to
US $6,000.00 (six thousand United States dollars); and c)
psychological treatment of María Eugenia Molina Theissen and her
daughter, Nadia Alvarado Molina, from 1992 to 1996, amounting to US
$8,000.00 (eight thousand United States dollars), US $4,000.00 (four
thousand United States dollars) each. All the above adds up to US
$34,000.00 (thirty-four thousand United States dollars);
b(iii) with respect to property damages: lost earnings and forced
exile of the family group, originating in Marco Antonio Molina
Theissen’s disappearance. In October 1981 the victim’s family had a
stable financial situation. After what happened, the Molina Theissen
couple concentrated exclusively on searching for Marco Antonio.
Carlos Augusto Molina Palma, the victim’s father, stopped working as a
private accountant, a job where he earned Q1.500.00 (one thousand
five hundred quetzales) monthly, and he lost his office, equipment,
and furniture. This damage must be compensated taking into account
his lost earnings from the time that Marco Antonio Molina Theissen
disappeared in October 1981 until September 1994 when he died,
which amount to US $80,437.50 (eighty thousand four hundred and
thirty-seven United States dollars and fifty cents). Emma Theissen
Álvarez Vda. de Molina, the victim’s mother, worked full time as a
teacher at the Germán Alcántara school and her monthly income was
US $450.00 (four hundred and fifty United States dollars). She
stopped working the year after the facts took place, when she had
been a teacher for 23 years. According to Guatemalan legislation,
after 35 years working as a teacher she was entitled to retirement, so
she had twelve years of work ahead at the time. She requested
advanced retirement, which was approved, but with a lower monthly
pension than she would have received if she had completed her 35
years work as a teacher. To compensate for this damage, the State
must pay Emma Theissen Álvarez Vda. de Molina Q561,600.00 (five
hundred and sixty-one thousand six hundred quetzales), equivalent to
US $70,200.00 (seventy thousand two hundred United States dollars),
for salaries and Q8,000.00 (eight thousand quetzales), more as a
symbolic amount to supplement her pension.
María Eugenia Molina Theissen also had to leave her job as a secretary
at University of San Carlos, Ana Lucrecia Molina Theissen lost her
position as a teacher, and Emma Guadalupe Molina Theissen
discontinued her career as a student of computer systems.
Furthermore, Marco Antonio Molina Theissen’s parents left their house
