Ombudsman: No investigation on Sen. Leila de Lima.
The Ombudsman will not conduct a motu propio investigation against Senator Leila de Lima.
Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales said, all evidence thrown against Sen. de Lima are all still allegations.
“It’s not going to happen because all are still allegations. There is still no lead that will prompt us to initiate our investigation,” Morales said.
Morales added that they will start the investigation if there is a complaint filed against the senator.
Recently, the chief of police of Albuerra, Leyte filed a complaint against Sen. de lima at the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas.
Morales said that all cases concerning high ranking officials must be forwarded to their office if it came from other regions. But the complaint has not reached their office.
Meanwhile, no case will be filed against the five PNP generals allegedly involved in drug trade until PNP is done with their own investigation.
“Not yet because the police people had been tasked to conduct their own investigation and it will be exercise in futility if, we, ourselves initiate. Because the facts will come from them,” said Morales.
The Ombudsman is currently conducting a lifestyle check on five PNP generals involved in the drug trade.
