  We study the Belle reaction $\Xi_c^+ \to \Xi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ looking at the
mass distribution of $\pi^+ \Xi$, where clear signals for the $\Xi(1620)$ and
$\Xi(1690)$ resonances are seen. These two resonances are generated dynamically
from the interaction in coupled channels of $\pi \Xi, \bar K \Lambda, \bar K
\Sigma$ and $\eta \Xi$ within the chiral unitary approach. Yet, the weak decay
process at the quark level, together with the hadronization to produce pairs of
mesons, does not produce the $\pi \pi \Xi$ final state. In order to produce
this state one must make transitions from the $\bar K \Lambda, \bar K \Sigma$
and $\eta \Xi$ components to $\pi \Xi$, and this interaction is what produces
the resonances. So, the reaction offers a good test for the molecular picture
of these resonances. Adding the contribution of the $\Xi^*(1530)$ and some
background we are able to get a good reproduction of the mass distribution
showing the signatures of the two resonances as found in the experiment.
