The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has already submitted various pieces of evidence to strengthen the government’s case against Cebu-based businessman Peter Lim, self-confessed drug distributor Kerwin Espinosa, convicted drug-lord Peter Co and several others. During Monday’s preliminary investigation, the OSG through Assistant Solicitor Angelita V. Miranda submitted a third supplemental affidavit of Marcelo Adorco. He was arrested on July 8, 2016 during a drug buy-bust operation in Albuera, Leyte. He has been admitted to the Witness Protection Program and is the sole witness of the police in initiating the complaint against Lim and the others. Under the complaint, Lim and his co-respondents are accused of violating Section 26 (b) in relation to Section 5 (Sale, Trading, Administration, Dispensation, Delivery, Distribution and Transportation of Dangerous Drugs and/or Controlled Precursors and Essential Chemicals) of Republic Act 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
