Sandigan asked to reconsider dismissal of charges vs ex-gov

The prosecution is asking the Sandiganbayan’s Second Division to reconsider its ruling that dismissed the two graft cases and two malversation cases thatwere filed earlier this year against former Surigao del Norte Gov. Robert Lyndon Barbers in connection with allegedly anomalous procurement of fertilizers in 2004.

The anti-graft court earlier this month granted Barbers’ omnibus motion to quash, finding that his right to speedy disposition of cases was violated because of the delay in the Office of the Ombudsman’s investigations.|
