NBI to seek removal of Davao City prosecutors from Paolo Duterte libel complaint
NBI Director Melvin Matibag says the bureau will ask that the Davao City prosecutor's office be inhibited from handling the libel and cyber libel case.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) plans to ask that the Davao City prosecutor's office be taken off a libel and cyber libel complaint linked to Paolo Duterte, according to GMA Network.
NBI Director Melvin Matibag said on Monday that he will file a motion to have the city prosecutor's office inhibited from handling the complaint. GMA Network's report says the bureau is seeking to transfer the complaint out of Davao City.
The available report does not say who the complaint was filed against, why the NBI wants the transfer, or where the case would be moved. DavaoNews will update this story as more details become available.
Why it matters for Davao
If the motion is granted, the preliminary handling of the complaint would move away from the Davao City prosecutor's office.
