DOJ ‘intends’ to subpoena House members implicated by Curlee Discaya
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) are preparing to invite lawmakers implicated in a flood-control corruption scam.
Contractors Curlee and Sarah Discaya have accused several individuals, including senators and a former representative, of involvement in the alleged corruption.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that the agency is currently verifying the contractors' statements before issuing any official summons.
If the invited individuals do not appear, the NBI will proceed to subpoena them.
The DOJ plans to interview the 21 individuals named in the Discayas' initial affidavit, including Senators Francis Escudero, Joel Villanueva, and Jinggoy Estrada, and resigned Rep. Zaldy Co, along with DPWH officials.
Following the interviews, the Anti-Money Laundering Council will investigate financial accounts related to the case.
