Giving immunity to Marcoses a ‘mockery of justice’ – Lagman

TO exempt the family of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos from criminal liability if they return alleged ill-gotten wealth would be “a mockery of justice,” according to an opposition lawmaker.

“It is well settled in Philippine jurisprudence that criminal liability is not subject to compromise,” Rep. Edcel Lagman of Albay said in a statement issued on Wednesday.
