The DOJ is expected to serve today, Tuesday, November 15, 2022, subpoenas against suspended Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief Gerald Bantag, deputy security officer Ricardo Zulueta in connection with the murder complaints filed against them.
DOJ Prosecutor General Benedicto Malcontento said the subpoenas were released on Monday but are yet to be served to Bantag and his co-accused in the complaint.
For Villamor’s death, Bantag and Zulueta were charged as principals by inducements, while persons deprived liberty Labra, Galicia, Mario Germones Alvarez and Joseph Medel Georfo were charged as principals by indispensable cooperation and PDLs Christam Dizon Ramac, Ricky Lamigo Salgado, Ronnie Pabustan de la Cruz and Joel Alog Reyes were charged as principals by direct participation.
Catapang took over as BuCor chief post last month after Bantag was placed on a 90-day suspension to pave the way for an impartial probe on the mysterious death of Villamor inside the national penitentiary after he was tagged by Escorial. In the same interview, Bantag said he is no longer willing to sit down with Lapid’s family to prove his innocence.
