The Department of Justice (DOJ) is poised to finish on
Monday the printing of the criminal information against the 90 commanders and
members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom
Fighters (BIFF) and private armed groups (PAGs) who were allegedly behind the
killing of 35 Philippine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF)
commandos in the Mamasapano encounter on Jan. 25, 2015.
Prosecutor General Claro A. Arellano, Chief of the DOJ's
National Prosecution Service (NPS), said that they merely conducted a review in
the findings of the investigating panel led by Assistant State Prosecutor
Alexander Suarez, hence, it would take a little while before it can be filed in
court.
DOJ Acting Secretary Emmanuel L. Caparas said that they were
just making sure that the case of complex crime of direct assault with murder
and theft would be "air tight", which was earlier recommended by the
National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against the killers of the PNP-SAF
troopers.
However, Caparas clarified that only the killers of the 35
members of the 55th SAF Company would be charged such that there was still no
sufficient information about the killers of the other nine PNP-SAF members.
Caparas noted that the gathering of evidence and testimony
was very difficult in the sense that some witnesses in the incident would not
like to cooperate for fear of their safety.
