Ombudsman: "No Factual Findings Yet To Begin De Lima Probe"
Later, Conchita Carpio Morales added that there was no present basis to start a probe on De Lima" Walang pang firm na charges. We cannot be groping in the dark. Hindi naman pwede kaming kakapa-kapa kung walang leads. Tignan namin as the case develops,"
The Ombudsman said referring to the lack of leads to be made by the Duterte Administration against De Lima who have been accused of covering big drug lords in bilibid and being involved in the illegal narcotic trade.
She also cited that newspaper reports are not enough to trigger investigations, in other words mere rumors cannot start a case against De Lima. "Headlines 'yan. Iba naman ang headlines sa factual findings."
Morales explained to the media about not having hard evidences against De Lima to file a case against her. " When there is enough leads, the intention is always there. In fact, we are obliged to investigate cases which are within the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman."
She also specifically emphasized and cited that her work had nothing to do with political affiliations ,political friends or political interests and that she was in no way taking sides to any parties involved in the heated media sprawl by the President and the Senator.
When reporters asked what she thought about the Senator who is now facing multiple accusations because of the witnesses that are now slowly appearing in the media, Conchita Carpio Morales or the Ombudsman just commented that it was none from her knowledge.
