Gretchen Barretto camp says DOJ resolution proves she had no part in ‘missing sabungeros’ case
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed the criminal case filed against actress Gretchen Barretto and 10 others related to the abduction of cockfighting enthusiasts.
Barretto and the others were accused by witness Julie "Dondon" Patidongan of involvement with the Pitmaster Alpha Group.
The DOJ panel of prosecutors found the evidence against the group to be speculative and uncorroborated.
Patidongan only alleged that the accused attended meetings where decisions were made to punish cheating sabungeros.
There was no proof that Barretto and the others gave direct orders, participated in logistics, or knew about the specific abductions.
