Former presidential spokesperson and lawyer Harry Roque on Friday revealed that the whistleblowers in the PhilHealth-Wellmed

“ghost dialysis” scam – Edwin Roberto and Liezel Aileen De Leon – have been arrested on October 3, Thursday.Roque explained during an interview at the Office of the Ombudsman in Agham Road, Quezon City that the Wellmed case had been dismissed by the Quezon City regional trial court , and refiled with the metropolitan trial court . When this happened, they lost the benefit of the witness protection program .

Roque is hoping that the case can be taken over by the Ombudsman once they name a government official as involved in the scam. And instead of estafa, he plans to file malversation raps against those concerned. Roque added that their testimonies were crucial to the case because they were the ones tasked by the owners of Wellmed to falsify documents. “Kaya sa tingin ko, ganun na lang ang pagnanais ng tunay na may pagkakasala na wag mag testigo yung dalawa, kaya sila pinahihirapan, ,” he said.
