P-Noy won’t interfere
in Lacson’s case

MANILA – President-elect Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino said yesterday he will not interfere in the case of his former colleague, Senator Panfilo Lacson, who has been implicated in the twin killing of publicist Salvador ‘Bubby’ Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito in 2000.

”His case is already in the court. We have prohibition to interfere,” Aquino said in a press conference after announcing the composition of his Cabinet in Quezon City.

Aquino, however, clarified that Lacson has the right to return to the country as the reports revealed that the fugitive senator is set to return right after the inauguration of Aquino as the 15th President of the country on June 30 at the newly-refurbished Quirino Grandstand.
