Enrile, Reyes, Napoles abswelto sa plunder case

PINALAYA ng Sandiganbayan nitong Biyernes si dating Senate President at ngayo’y Chief Presidential Legal Counsel na si Juan Ponce Enrile at dalawa pang iba na may  mga kasong plunder matapos ang mahigit 10 taon ng paglilitis.

Kasama ni Enrile na pinalaya sa kasong P172.83 milyon ang kanyang dating chief of staff na si Jessica Lucila “Gigi” Reyes at ang nahatulang mastermind ng pork barrel scam na si Janet Lim-Napoles.

Pinalaya si Enrile at Napoles nang walang ipinakitang depensa dahil tinanggap ng korte ang kanilang mga demurrer to evidence, kung saan humiling sila ng pagbasura sa kaso batay lamang sa kahinaan ng ebidensya ng prosekusyon.

Pinayagan ng Sandiganbayan Special Third Division ang demurrer, o pagtutol, ni Enrile na 100 taong gulang, pati na rin ang sariling demurrer ni Napoles.

Samantala, pinalaya si Reyes matapos magpapakita ng kanyang kontra-ebidensya.

Ang desisyong 84-pahinang ito ay isinulat ni Associate Justice Ronald Moreno.

Kasama ni Moreno sa pagkakaisa ang Presiding Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang at mga Associate Justices na sina Bernelito Fernandez, Geraldine Faith Econg, at Juliet Manalo-San Gaspar.

Ayon sa desisyon, nabigong patunayan ng prosekusyon na tumanggap si Enrile ng ilan sa mga perang naipon mula sa kanyang Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) noong 2006, 2007, at 2010.

Ang liham na hiling ni Enrile sa Senate President o sa Senate Committee on Finance ay isang “regular na proseso” na isinasagawa ng mga senador para magamit bilang pinansyal na tulong sa isang lokal na yunit ng gobyerno.

Sinabi ng korte na walang testigo mula sa prosekusyon ang nagpahayag na ibinigay o nailipat ang pera kay Enrile mula sa mga kickback ni Napoles.

Hindi rin naipakita ng prosekusyon kung nakakuha si Reyes ng ill-gotten wealth mula kay Ruby Tuason, ang socialite na  sinasabing nagsilbing middleman sa transaksyon sa pagitan nina Reyes at Enrile.

Ang pamangkin ni Napoles, si Luy, na nasangkot din sa iskandalo, ay nagpatotoo na wala siyang sapat na ebidensya upang patunayan na tumanggap si Napoles ng bahagi ng PDAF ni Enrile.

Isinampa ng Office of the Ombudsman ang mga kasong plunder noong Hunyo 5, 2014.

Inilarawan ng chief legal counsel ni Enrile, ang dating solicitor-general na si Estelito Mendoza, ang desisyon bilang isang “pagbabalik ng dangal” para sa dating senador at kanyang mga co-accused.

“Naipagtanggol kami. Mahabang proseso ito, ngunit ngayon, si JPE ay pinalaya, kasama si Gigi Reyes,” sabi ni Mendoza.

Agad na umalis si Reyes sa gusali ng Sandiganbayan matapos ang kanyang acquittal.

Sa kabila ng kanyang acquittal, mananatili si Napoles sa kulungan dahil siya ay nahatulan na ng plunder multiple counts ng graft kaugnay ng multi-bilyong pork barrel scam.
