Taguig Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 116 dismisses the light threats case against Toshiya Rujita, who is suspected of involvement in a string of robberies in Japan.
MANILA, Philippines – A Taguig court has dismissed a light threats case filed against a Japanese fugitive, paving the way for his deportation to face charges in his home country.
Pagkalinawan said that the court dismissed the light threats case filed against Toshiya Fujita after the court did not find probable cause against the accused. This comes ahead of“The motion to withdraw stated the ground that there is a consistent absence on the part of the private complainant. However, the court made an independent study, a revisit of the probable cause, and finds that there is none.
The resolution stemmed from the complaint filed by a certain Francis Alcantara, a lawyer. Based on the complaint-affidavit, the accusation is based on alleged threats that happened on August 20, 2021. “There are no overt acts on the part of accused, so there is really no reason to file probable cause. Independently, there is no probable causes here – probable cause on the part of the prosecution and probable cause on the part of the judge,” she explained.
