President Rodrigo Duterte believes that the businesswoman behind the controversial Pork Barrel Scam should be freed of her charges.
Janet Napoles, in his perspective, played a key role in the anomalous use of Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
For him, Napoles could be a 'state witness' if she would be the least guilty and not the mastermind of the scam.
Duterte asserts in an interview yesterday that the prosecution has been selective in identifying people behind PDAF cases.
“Parang selective yung binira. Criminal action must proceed against all who are responsible,” Duterte added.
He asserted that filing respective criminal cases to people who are responsible for it should be studied thoroughly.
Napoles should also be dismissed from charges of illegal detention filed by Benhur Luy.
"Hihilingin ko na madismis ang kasong illegal detention laban kay Napoles," he added.
