Quezon City prosecutors dismiss cyber libel case against Roque
Quezon City prosecutors dismissed a cyber libel complaint filed by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV against lawyer Harry Roque on October 9, 2024.
Assistant City Prosecutor Darlene Oani cited 'insufficiency of evidence' as the reason for dismissing the case.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed on Wednesday that there was insufficient evidence to file a criminal case against Roque.
Roque faces additional legal issues and is currently in hiding, facing arrest warrants, while he applied for asylum in The Hague, Netherlands.
Trillanes plans to file a motion for reconsideration of the dismissal despite the prosecutor's decision.
The former senator is now campaigning for the mayoralty position in Caloocan City.
