‘Oplan Gawad
Katarungan’
organized for Erap verdict |
|
By Jomar Canlas Reporter
The antigraft court and the
police are developing a plan to handle any public disturbance that
might erupt once the decision on the plunder case of former
President Joseph Estrada is announced.
Planning and coordination for
“Oplan Gawad Katarungan” began Wednesday, in anticipation of the
Sandiganbayan verdict, which is expected in two weeks. The law
requires that the court hand down a decision 90 days after the final
arguments. The end of that period is September 14, 2007.
