Ragos facing perjury case for false testimony—DOJ READ MORE:
Prosecutor General Benedicto Malcontento said that Ragos’ recantation of his earlier testimony against former senator Leila M. de Lima led to her acquittal in the case involving illegal drugs, but his retraction would pave the way for charging him with perjury case.
Ragos had testified that he delivered the money in 2012 when he was officer-in-charge of the Bureau of Corrections . He later recanted his testimony against De Lima and Dayan. The decision stated that “the testimony of witness Ragos is necessary to sustain any possible conviction,” said Regional Trial Court Judge Abraham Joseph B. Alcantara.
Malcontento said that Ragos swore to the truthfulness of his testimony against De Lima and was even warned that he could be charged with perjury if this was found to be false.“That’s a possibility, but we have to wait for directions of OSEC .”
