The Office of the Ombudsman and the Department of Justice see the first batch of criminal cases being filed in court within the month against those implicated in corruption related to flood control and other infrastructure anomalies.
Some of the charges being eyed cover offenses that won’t allow bail. The ombudsman and government prosecutors therefore see several accused offenders landing behind bars before Christmas.
The Supreme Court is doing its part by designating an initial batch of 26 regional trial courts in six major regions to handle the corruption cases and speed up adjudication. The move was announced by the SC over the weekend, as protest rallies related to the corruption scandal got underway.
