Detained former Senator Leila de Lima is one step closer to freedom after a Muntinlupa court on Friday acquitted her in one of her two remaining drug cases.
This was announced by De Lima’s legal counsel, Atty. Filibon Tacardon, following the promulgation of the case at the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 204.De Lima, who was been detained in Camp Crame since February 2017, was accused of benefiting financially from the alleged illegal drug trade inside the New Bilibid Prison during her stint as Justice secretary to support her senatorial bid in 2013.
In May 2022, former Bureau of Corrections chief Rafael Ragos retracted his testimonies against De Lima. Ragos had claimed that he and aide Jovencio Ablen Jr. delivered P5 million in proceeds from the illegal drug trade inside the NBP to De Lima's house in Parañaque City in 2012.
