JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Thursday revealed that almost all the suspects in custody of the National Bureau of Investigation have issued separate statements linking Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves in the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo and eight others last March 4.
At least 10 suspects, mostly former soldiers, have surrendered to authorities and admitted either direct or vital participation in the crime. They filed four separate petitions assailing the Sandigabayan’s resolutions but these were ordered consolidated by the SC. In their consolidated petitions before the SC, Degamo and his co-petitioners argued that the Sandiganbayan should have granted their respective motions seeking the dismissal of the charges considering the similarity of the criminal informations before the Second and Third Division of the anti-graft court, which they claim will result in multiple prosecutions.
Teves was given two deadlines to report to the House, the first deadline was on March 15 and then a 24-hour ultimatum issued last March 20. “It means everywhere he passes he will be asked by the Interpol questions…I don’t know if they already file for a blue notice. I am not the NBI, it’s the NBI that puts out that arrangement with the Interpol,” Remulla explained.Remulla also welcomed the decision of Negros Oriental Governor Pryde Henry Teves to sign a waiver allowing the justice department to look into his bank accounts, phone records and emails in a bid to clear his name of any involvement in the Degamo killing.“It can be useful.
