Lacuna’s P24-M ill-gotten wealth case goes to court

THE Office of the Ombudsman gave the green light to pursue the P24-million ill-gotten wealth case of former Vice Mayor Danilo Lacuna of Manila and his wife after evidence of the defense were found to be best left for the Sandiganbayan to judge.

In a 10-page resolution, the panel of prosecutors junked the motion for reconsideration of the Lacunas saying that the documents they presented are already evidentiary in nature, which court justices should see to appreciate themselves.
