Senate Impeachment Court Welcomes Corona Bank Records
by PDI
The Senate impeachment court in effect allowed fishing expedition when it granted the request of the prosecution to issue subpoena to bank records of Chief Justice Renato Corona, his defense lawyers said in a petition.
In the petition asking to nullify the impeachment proceedings, Corona’s defense lawyers led by former Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas said the document attached by the prosecution team did not come from a legitimate source thus it must be disallowed by the court.
During Monday’s hearing, Rep. Reynaldo Umali, a member of the prosecution team said the bank documents were given to him at the Senate Secretariat’s Office by a “small lady” that he does not know.
