Court junks graft case vs Devanadera

The Sandiganbayan’s First Division has thrown out the graft complaint filed against former Government Corporate Counsel Agnes Devanadera over a compromise deal between a company and the Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC), which she supposedly signed.

In a 12-page resolution promulgated on May 16, the court granted Devanadera’s motion to dismiss the case citing the inordinate delay by the Office of the Ombudsman to conduct a preliminary investigation as reason.
