Marcos camp claims early ‘win’ in fraud case

The Marcos camp declared an early victory in its cybercrime case against Smartmatic after the Manila Prosecutor’s Office did not allow the election software and hardware provider to conduct a clarificatory presentation in the continuation of it’s preliminary investigation.

Deputy City Prosecutor Rector Macapagal on Thursday turned down the request of Smartmatic led by Valenzuelan Marlon Garcia, head of technical team, and instead ordered him to answer one by one the 37 questions raised by the camp of former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
