Discaya info still lacking; charges to be filed in ‘coming weeks’ — DOJ
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that charges against individuals involved in alleged irregularities in flood control projects will be filed within the coming weeks.
DOJ officer-in-charge Fredderick Vida stated that the agency is currently reviewing testimonies from suspects seeking entry into the Witness Protection Program, including contractors Pacifico and Cezarah Discaya.
Vida assured the public that strong cases will be filed based on the available evidence, even if state witnesses do not provide satisfactory information.
He clarified that the DOJ remains unsatisfied with the evidence submitted by the Discayas, refuting claims that a comprehensive 'tell-all' affidavit had already been filed by the couple.
The DOJ will proceed with filing charges based on the existing evidence if the submitted statements are deemed insufficient.
