Gordon did not hide his frustration after the Sandiganbayan threw out for lack of evidence a P200-billion forfeiture case filed against the Marcos family.
“They have to explain… It would appear that they are very cavalier in preparing for the [prosecution of] cases,” the senator said.
It should be a full-court press,” the senator said, adding: “They should get more qualified lawyers because the trick here is in the [legal] research and having good lawyers… those who will do the job. Also sought for comment, former Commission on Human Rights Chair Etta Rosales called the string of defeats before the antigraft court “devastating,” not only for the victims and survivors of the Marcos regime but also for the people as a whole, whose money was plundered by the Marcoses and their cronies.
