WATCH SENATOR DE LIMA PRIVILEGE SPEECH FIRE BACK TO SENATOR CAYETANO SPEECH

Senator Leila de Lima shot back at her depreciators, including Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, after she was stripped of her chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

Watch This Video Below:

De Lima's security aide as DOJ Sec was her collector of drug money from drug lords in NBP

On Tuesday convicted drug lord, Herbert Colangco insisted that Sen Leila de Lima’s secuirty aide was her bagman who was used to bring the drug money from the drug lords to the former Justice Secretary for her budget to be used for her senatorial bid.

This was done during the House probe on the proliferation of drugs inside the New Bilibid Prisons. Jonel Sanchez was named.

Accordingly, Jonel’s work is the security aide of De Lima and at the same time money collector of the former justice secretary.He also divulged that Sanchez said to collect more or less 30 – 50 kilos of shabu from big time chinese drug lords inside the NBP which will be used for the senatorial candidacy.

Colangco also added that Sanchez will ask for additional money despite of the large amount of money that he has been shelling out to De Lima, Sanchez’ boss.

He said that he learned of Sanchez’ identity through his talent manager who was dealing with the bagman personally. Furthermore, he added that Sanchez also talked with kidnap for ransom convict Jaybee Sebastian, who is known to be the biggest drug lord in NBP. The talks was about raising of funds for the De Lima senatorial bid.

AGUIRRE: AMLC's uncooperative manners slows down case building against De Lima

The Anti-Money Laundering Council was accused by Justice Sec Aguirre for not cooperating with the DOJ efforts in the case against Sen De Lima and her alleged drug cohorts in the New Bilibid Prison.

Aguirre said the request of looking in at the bank accounts of the alleged drug lords was denied, he added that he was frustrated with AMLC that he was hoping that the said request be granted and will give government lawyers ample time to look and study them in line with the 20 Sept hearing on house probe on the adamant progression of drugs in the NBP under the watch of then DOJ sec De Lima.

Aguirre also said it was surprising how the AMLC is on a snail pace with this case when it's main objective is to go against ill gotten wealth hoarded by drug lords while inside the prison. AMLC has yet to give its side on this allegations of Aguirre.


However, despite of this blunder, the justice secretary is on high hopes that he would get the bank records on or before Tuesday. He said that building a case against Delima is a bit harder because of the non cooperation of the AMLC. De Lima is the target of the said investigation because her name came out of the drug Matrix that was sent out a few weeks back by President Duterte.

In a statement of Paolo, “What Sen. Leila De Lima and this certain Matobato say in public are mere allegations,” Matobato reasoned, that the ordered for King’s killing was their rivalry on a woman.

“In the absence of proof, they are mere hearsay,” Paolo added, “I will not dignify with an answer the accusations of a madman.”

Matobato claimed that Paolo was also a drug user.
