According to Clavano, they received confidential information about Dera’s whereabouts, which prompted them to inform the NBI. This pushed the bureau to create a task force and wait for Dera at the NBI’s gate, where he was nabbed by NBI agents. Meanwhile, on the allegation that Dera is Teves’ bagman, Clavano said “it’s too early to give anything,” adding that “there’s absolutely no credibility yet to the information” he had received.However, Palad said Dera went out of his detention facility because he was brought to the hospital multiple times due to medical concerns. The lawyer also noted that the NBI has a record of Dera’s visits to the medical facility.
