-48of Córdoba. Their purpose was to carry out a raid in the jurisdiction of Pueblo Bello, to abduct a group of individuals who had allegedly collaborated with the guerrilla, based on a list they took with them.57 95(31) Fidel Castaño’s personal motive for carrying out this raid was that, at the end of December 1989, the guerrilla had stolen several head of his cattle and had transported them through Pueblo Bello to another place. Consequently, Fidel Castaño considered that the inhabitants of Pueblo Bello were authors or accomplices of this theft. In addition, on an unknown date, the “mayordomo” (ranch manager) of “Las Tangas” had been murdered in the Pueblo Bello public square.58 95(32) On January 14, 1990, between 8.30 p.m. and 10.50 p.m., members of this paramilitary group entered the jurisdiction of Pueblo Bello with great violence, in two Dodge-600 trucks, apparently stolen, divided into four groups. Each group was led by a “task leader” and had specific assignments: to occupy the center of the village and “capture” the “suspects”; to cover the escape routes around Pueblo Bello; and to block the roads leading from Pueblo Bello to Turbo and to San Pedro de Urabá. These paramilitary forces carried firearms of different calibers, wore civilian clothes, and also clothes for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces, and had red and pink cloths around their necks.59 57 Cf. ordinary judgment of the Medellín Regional Court of May 26, 1997 (file of attachments to the application brief, tome II, attachment C2, folios 344, 364, 365 and 389); judgment of the Sentencing Chamber of the Tribunal Nacional of December 30, 1997 (file of attachments to the application brief, tome II, attachment C3, folios 419, 450 and 463); judgment of the Criminal Appeals Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of March 8, 2001 (file of attachments to the application, tome II, attachment C4, folios 482 and 504); ruling of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Attorney General’s Office of February 9, 2001 (file of attachments to the brief with the answer to the application, folio 1739); testimony of Ángel Emiro Jiménez Romero before the Inter-American Court during the public hearing held on September 19, 2005, and statements made before notary public (affidavits) by Eliécer Manuel Meza Acosta, Benildo José Ricardo Herrera, Manuel Dolores López Cuadro, Robinson Petro Pérez, María Cecilia Ruiz de Álvarez and Edilma de Jesús Monroy Higuita on August 16, 2005 (file of statements made before or authenticated by notary public, folios 2701, 2711, 2738, 2742, 2716 and 2725). 58 Cf. ordinary judgment of the Medellín Regional Court of May 26, 1997 (file of attachments to the application brief, tome II, attachment C2, folio 389); report on “Investigatory Collaboration” of October 6, 2004, issued by the Technical Investigation Corps of the National Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Unit (file of useful evidence submitted by the State, folios 5683 to 5689); testimony of Rubén Díaz Romero before the Inter-American Court during the public hearing held on September 19, 2005, and statements made before notary public (affidavits) by Eliécer Manuel Meza Acosta, Pedro Luis Escobar Duarte, Euclides Manuel Calle Álvarez, María Cecilia Ruiz de Álvarez and Edilma de Jesús Monroy Higuita on August 16, 2005 (file of statements made before or authenticated by notary public, folios 2701, 2723, 2726, 2716 and 2730). 59 Cf. ruling of the Office of the Delegate Attorney for the defense of human rights of November 27, 1991 (file of attachments to the answer to the application, attachment 1, folio 1685);ruling of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Attorney General’s Office of February 9, 2001 (file of attachments to the brief with the answer to the application, attachment 2, folio 1739); judgment of the Sentencing Chamber of the Tribunal Nacional of December 30, 1997 (file of attachments to the application brief, tome II, attachment C3, folio 450); ordinary judgment of the Medellín Regional Court of May 26, 1997 (file of attachments to the application brief, tome II, attachment C2, folios 344, 364, 365 and 389); judgment of the Sentencing Chamber of the Tribunal Nacional of December 30, 1997 (file of attachments to the application brief, tome II, attachment C3, folios 419, 450, 451 and 463); judgment of the Criminal Appeals Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of March 8, 2001 (file of attachments to the application, tome II, attachment C4, folio 482); report submitted by the General Directorate of Intelligence of the Administrative Department of Security (DAS) on September 12, 1990 (file of attachments to the requests and arguments brief, attachment 5(2), folios 1535 and 1536); testimonies of Ángel Emiro Jiménez Romero and Mariano Manuel Martínez before the Inter-American Court during the public hearing held on September 19, 2005, and statements made before notary public (affidavits) by Eliécer Manuel Meza Acosta, Benildo José Ricardo Herrera, Manuel Dolores López Cuadro, Robinson Petro Pérez, María Cecilia Ruiz de Álvarez, Leovigilda
