雷穆拉兄弟拒绝洪水控制骗局调查中的20亿披索贿赂

内政部长琼维克·雷穆拉和监察长耶稣·克里斯平·雷穆拉拒绝了卷入正在进行的洪水控制骗局的国会议员和承包商各提供的20亿披索贿赂,此前曾有10亿披索的提议以求宽大处理。兄弟俩公开此事,以在最近对相关方提起诉讼之际威慑进一步腐败企图。

在监察署对数十亿披索洪水控制骗局的持续调查背景下——该骗局已对东方民都洛省和达沃西方省等项目的官员和承包商提起诉讼——内政部长琼维克·雷穆拉透露,他和他的兄弟、监察长耶稣·克里斯平·雷穆拉各收到20亿披索贿赂提议,以帮助涉案人员获释或协助他们脱罪脱案。“一名承包商和一名国会议员兼承包商希望我们帮助他们——从名单中移除,或允许他们保释,”雷穆拉在内政部新闻简报会上表示。他未点名,但描述其中一人来自吕宋,与当地团体有关,另一人来自米沙鄢群岛和棉兰老。一名中间人通过朋友在大约两周前转达吕宋人士的提议,而米沙鄢群岛承包商的提议则是在三四天前。“他们认为我们掌握让他们脱罪的关键。但实际上是他们的律师掌握了他们在法庭上辩护的关键,”雷穆拉表示。他当即拒绝,他的兄弟感到被侮辱。“他们认为我们这么低贱吗?”监察长回应道。没有提起指控,因为当事人事主很可能通过中间人否认涉案,但此事被公开作为警告。“别想尝试,因为行不通,”雷穆拉强调。这凸显了骗局调查中基础设施领域持续存在的贪腐挑战。

Former House speaker and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez has moved to disqualify the Office of the Ombudsman from probing his alleged involvement in the flood control controversy, warning of a ‘pattern of prejudgment’ that violates due process.
