DOJ to forward Dacera case to Makati prosecutor

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Justice (DOJ) is planning to forward to the Makati City Prosecutor’s Office the complaints filed by its investigating arm, the National Bureau of Investigation, against the companions of flight attendant Christine Dacera, who was found dead in a hotel room in Makati City after a New Year’s Eve party.

The NBI on Friday filed the complaints with the DOJ against 11 respondents, including their lawyer and a police official.

Guevarra said a subpoena would be sent to the respondents in these complaints so they can submit their counteraffidavits.
