Ombudsman indicts former DOE chief Cusi, others over Malampaya deal
The Office of the Ombudsman has filed a graft charge against former Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi and four other former Department of Energy (DOE) officials.
The charges stem from the approval in 2019 of the sale of Chevron's shares in the Malampaya gas project to Udenna Corp.
The PDP confirmed the filing of the case, stating that it was previously dismissed by the Ombudsman.
The PDP's lawyer mentioned that the reversal of the dismissal is currently under review by the Supreme Court.
Cusi's lawyer stated they have not received a copy of the charge and that Cusi considers the graft rap 'pure harassment'.
