In a radio program, Lacson, who has been leading the Senate investigation into Espinosa’s killing, discussed details of the police operations by the CIDG team that did not add up. ADVERTISEMENTHe said the CIDG team relied on an informant that gave information that should have raised doubts. Lacson said the team could have easily sent an operative to go to the jail and check the layout given by the informant. He said he asked Marcos because there was a report that Espinosa contributed to the election campaign of Marcos’ wife Maritess, who ran for vice mayor in Pastrana, Leyte. Lacson said Kerwin Espinosa, set to be extradited from Abu Dhabi, was a vital witness and that the latter should be secured by the PNP.
