NBI examines seized items from Cabral's hotel room
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is examining personal effects and documents seized from the hotel room of former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral.
NBI spokesperson Atty. Palmer Mallari stated that the items are related to the investigation into Cabral's death, and the court will decide on their disposition after the return of the search warrant.
While some pieces of evidence suggest suicide, investigators are awaiting the completion of their probe, including the examination of the former undersecretary's selfie and dashcam footage.
A separate search warrant is required to examine Cabral's phone, and the DPWH has been ordered by the Office of the Ombudsman to turn over all computers and devices issued to her.
