Bantag says DOJ has yet to serve subpoena - BusinessMirror

Bantag claimed the subpoena server did not leave a copy of the subpoena in the barangay hall when the barangay chairman told them that he is no longer living in the area since he assumed the top BuCor post in September 2019.

“The barangay chairman said that since I accepted the BuCor post I have not been visiting the house because it is too far. So, they did not leave a subpoena,” the embattled BuCor chief said. But he said he would consider the advice of his lawyers on whether he would personally appear during the preliminary hearing since his presence in the proceeding is not required.

Bantag and BuCor deputy security officer Ricardo Zulueta were charged as principals by inducement in the Lapid killing.
