MANILA, Philippines (Update 2 11:33 a.m.) — A key witness in the trial of Sen. Leila de Lima retracted his allegations that he delivered money to the lawmaker, who has been detained for more than five years for drug charges she has been insisting are fabricated.

 

Former Bureau of Corrections Officer-in-Charge Rafael Ragos executed an affidavit stating that he was coerced to make false allegations against the opposition lawmaker.

 

“I now hereby declare and make known to the whole world that there is no truth whatsoever to any of these affidavits or House and court testimonies, or any other statement made in the media or other investigatory proceedings, including the Senate and the DOJ, on the delivery of monies to Sec. De Lima or Ronnie Dayan in whatever amount,” he said.
