DOJ holds departure order over De Lima

THE Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to inquire the Muntinlupa court to dispute a Hold Departure Order (HDO) against Senator Leila De Lima in connection to the three different drug cases filed against her over alleged participation in the narco-trading in the state penitentiary.

Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II said he will request that the prosecutors record an application for HDO in the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court (RTC) to keep the Senator from leaving the supply of warrants of arrest. An HDO has a legitimate of five years.
It bars an accusted to leave the nation pending the trial about their cases in court. "Kung halibawang magkaron ng warrant of arrest then we will request that the court issue a hold takeoff arrange," the Justice Secretary said in a public interview.

As indicated by Aguirre, the warrants could be discharged on Monday if the judge will be allocated to the cases establishes that there is reasonable justification to continue with the arraignment. "Pwede [siyang maaresto] kung malinaw sa ating hukom ang reasonable justification," Aguirre said.
Three separate drug cases of evidence have been recorded against Senator De Lima last Friday for her affirmed infringement of the RA 9165 or the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. On October 7 a year ago, the DOJ has issued a post arrange against the Senator, setting her flights and goes under the Bureau of Immigration's observing.

Be that as it may, De Lima could travel to the United States last December to get a honor after the DOJ issued a request permitting her to leave the nation.
