Revilla to Sandigan: Junk malversation rap
MANILA, Philippines — Former senator Ramon Revilla Jr. is seeking the dismissal for lack of evidence of his malversation case before the Sandiganbayan Third Division.
Filing a motion for leave to file demurrer to evidence, Revilla argued that the prosecution, through the Office of the Ombudsman, has “failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt” that he committed any of the allegations.
Revilla is accused of receiving kickbacks from a P92.8-million alleged ghost flood control project in Pandi, Bulacan, which he lobbied for inclusion in the 2025 national budget.
He maintained there was no proof that he committed malversation as he was “never involved in the handling, safekeeping or eventual disbursement of the funds.”
Revilla is out on bail, with the anti-graft court ruling that the evidence of guilt was not strong.
