Pharmally exec Twinkle Dargani released from detention on humanitarian grounds

Senate President Vicente Sotto III approved the release of Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation executive Twinkle Dargani from Senate detention on humanitarian grounds.

Dargani, who tested positive for COVID-19, was released to her mother's care at their Bonifacio Global City residence to complete her isolation and quarantine.

Her mother cited concerns over her daughter's deteriorating mental health condition.

She had been detained since November 14 for failing to present crucial corporate documents related to Pharmally's pandemic contracts with the government.

Dargani pledged to make herself available when needed by the Senate Blue Ribbon committee.

Her brother, Mohit Dargani, and another executive, Linconn Ong, remain detained at the Pasay City jail.

The Senate hybrid committee hearing of the Pharmally case scheduled for Thursday has been reset to January 20 due to a Senate lockdown for disinfection.
