Hugas kamay?: Topacio says Ombudsman cannot delegate determination of bagmen's credibility to NBI
Former congressman Mike Defensor chose not to appear at the National Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday because he has already complied with a previous summons, his lawyer Ferdinand Topacio said, adding the second subpoena shows what he called a "pattern of harassment." The NBI had issued a subpoena to Defensor to shed light on a report that he had offered P5 million in cash to the 18 men claiming to have delivered kickbacks to politicians and personalities. The bureau said Defensor is not a suspect.
