Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla filed a complaint before the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) against Atty. Danny Villanueva, who represents five suspects in Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo’s murder.

In a briefing on Wednesday, Remulla said he has already written to the IBP about Villanueva"trifling with the court."

The controversy stemmed from Villanueva's submission of a writ of habeas corpus to the Manila Regional Trial Court on behalf of Osmundo Rivero, who alleged that his family was being unlawfully detained.. He earlier claimed that law enforcers made him say that Negros Oriental Representative Arnie Teves gave the order to kill Degamo. He added his family was also threatened.

Remulla asserted that Villanueva proceeded with the filing despite knowing that Rivero’s wife and child had already been released from the government's Witness Protection Program."
