MANILA, Philippines - The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) confirmed today about
the use of digital files owned by Benhur Luy as evidence against those senators
allegedly involved in the multi-billion peso pork barrel scam.
The NBI said they have already submitted these files to the Senate and
will forward them to the Office of the Ombudsman.
Mr. Luy is set to visit the Senate to submit his digital records,
following the subpoena issues by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, according to
NBI Director Virgilio Mendez.
Mr. Mendez also re-produced a hard copy of these files, which will
purportedly be submitted to the office of the Ombudsman Conchita
Carpio-Morales.
Pertinent reports said Mr. Luy's digital files are comprised of 31,700
pages and area safely stored in his hard drive. Among the records contained in
the said files are the names of the senators and government officials, who have
had previous transactions with Janet Lim-Napoles in line with the pork barrel
anomaly.
These records are reportedly extensive than the affidavit submitted by
Napoles, involving 20 former and current senators and around 100 congressmen in
the pork barrel issue.
Now that the Senate already has Mr. Luy's digital records as well as Mrs. Napoles'
affidavit, the congress is now reportedly planning to subpoena the so-called
"red book" of Napoles, which according to Mr. Luy's former lawyer
Atty. Levito Baligod, has more complete records of the anomalous government
funding.
The recently-submitted digital records of Mr. Luy will be disclosed by
Guingona's office, tomorrow (Friday). The office would need more time to review
these files considering its far-reaching nature.
