Three co-accused in the last remaining drug case filed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against former senator Leila de Lima asked the judge to inhibit from hearing the drug case due to conflict of interest. ManilaBulletin

In a decision dated June 7 on case 17-167, Presiding Judge Romeo Buenaventura of the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 256 denied the petitions and motions for bail filed by De Lima and co-accused former Bureau of Corrections director Franklin Jesus Bucayu, Ronnie Dayan, Joenel Sanchez and Jose Adrian Dera.

In a motion filed by Dayan’s lawyer, Haidee Soriano, she said, that “following the issuance of the Order of the Honorable Court dated June 7, 2023 denying the petition for bail filed by all accused, several concerned citizens gave their respective comments and reactions thereto, while some even supplied information to accused Dayan on the personal relationship of a certain Atty. Emmanuel S. Buenaventura, allegedly former counsel of the former Congressman Reynaldo T.

“Accused Dayan later on recanted his statements in that Affidavit when he testified on a separate case before the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court Branch 204,” the motion added.
