MANILA, Philippines — Former Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II denied that he coerced ex-Bureau of Corrections chief Rafael Ragos, a key witness of the government against detained Sen. Leila de Lima, into making false statements to pin the lawmaker in the New Bilibid drug trade.

 

In a statement released Wednesday, Aguirre said Ragos “has always made it clear to me that his statements are true and he was voluntary offering them to use to correct an injustice and to tell the truth.”

 

“I was genuinely surprised at the statement of Mr. Rafael Ragos that I coerced him to execute affidavits involving Senator Leila de Lima in the drug trade in the Bilibid prisons. It is farthest from the truth, I was never involved in any efforts to coerce him,” Aguirre added.
