Detained former Senator Leila de Lima on Thursday asked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to “order” the Department of Justice to “stop blocking the testimony” of a recanting witness in her ongoing drug-related trial.“Mr. President, I will not and will never ask you to interfere with the courts.
Ragos’ lawyer, Michael de Castro, then told reporters that the DOJ filed a motion for reconsideration on an earlier court order that would have allowed his client to take the stand. According to De Lima, Mr. Marcos is in the position to undo the “wrongs” inflicted on her by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
“I have faith in our justice system, but I pray that the DOJ panel will be instruments of truth and justice this time around,” added the ex-lawmaker, who endured being hostaged at the PNP headquarters last Sunday.Earlier this year, Ragos, a former National Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Corrections officer-in-charge, recanted his allegations implicating De Lima in the illegal drugs trade.
