Authorities are processing several documents for the return of Kerwin Espinosa to the country after his arrest in Abu Dhabi.
However, as early as now, the DOJ is evaluating if he may be presented as a witness against Sen. Leila De Lima.
“That’s good. At least we could have an additional witness. If it will pass through the assessment of the Witness Protection Program (WPP), then we are going to offer immunity to Kerwin,” said Department of Justice (DOJ) secretary Vitaliano Aguirre.
The Albuera Police have filed charges against both Sen. De Lima and Espinosa for their alleged involvement in illegal drugs.
The DOJ’s suspicions are strong that De Lima and Espinosa are connected.
“They think they are very close. As a matter of fact, I have a picture of the two,” Sec. Aguirre said.
Sen. De Lima had earlier said that the photo in question might have been possibly taken during the campaign period when she had no control over who approached her.
However, Aguirre said, it is up to them to prove the connection between the two which is more than what the picture shows
