Former Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) deputy security officer Ricardo Zulueta has denied his alleged participation in the killing of broadcaster Percy Lapid, his legal counsel said Monday.
Zulueta, tagged as one of the masterminds in the case along with suspended BuCor chief Gerald Bantag, is facing“My client is very clear on this. Sabi niya, the allegations are all baseless and this is the handiwork of drug lords who are so angry at him and General Bantag because they removed the undeserved privileges from the time they took over at BuCor,” lawyer Lauro Gacayan told CNN.
According to Gacayan, Zulueta received only a one-page subpoena to appear before the Department of Justice. “I requested Atty. Balisong since he’s a very good friend of mine. My student [at] the College of Law to furnish me a copy of the affidavit complaint, the entire record against Colonel Zulueta and General Bantag and he was able to furnish me one,” he said.Meanwhile, he reiterated that Zulueta is not in hiding but found no reason to appear in public places due to “security concerns.”
“We believe that we are entitled to the cold neutrality of an impartial tribunal. That was the decision of the Supreme Court in a long line of decisions,” he said.
