The Sandiganbayan has rejected former senator Ramon Revilla Jr.’s bid to dismiss the malversation case involving an alleged ₱92.8-million ghost flood control project in Pandi, Bulacan.
The anti-graft court denied his motion to file a demurrer to evidence, with the defense scheduled to present its evidence on Nov. 24.
Meanwhile, Sen. Rodante Marcoleta and his co-accused have sought the dismissal of their plunder case involving alleged undeclared ₱75-million donations.
Former House Speaker Martin Romualdez’s camp also clarified that his 90-day preventive suspension does not mean he has been found guilty of plunder.
Separately, the court ordered Quezon City jail officials to explain why more than half of the facility’s 450 CCTV cameras were not working.
