Leila de Lima seeking charges against prosecutors in dismissed drug case
The Freeman
|August 15, 2025
Rep. Leila de Lima (Mamamayang Liberal Partylist) has asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to initiate appropriate administrative proceedings against the prosecutors who attempted to revive her dismissed drug charges.
-
De Lima filed a letter-complaint with the DOJ on Thursday, August 14, through her lawyer Dino De Leon, requesting Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla to hold the prosecutors accountable for what she described as a “politically motivated persecution” against her.
“As then sitting Senator and later as a private citizen, I became the target of fabricated and politically motivated cases and have suffered through the shameless weaponization of the legal system,” De Lima’s letter-complaint read.
