MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court (SC) yesterday sought all records of the drug trafficking cases filed against Sen. Leila de Lima. In a resolution, the high court directed the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court (RTC) as well as the Department of Justice (DOJ) to produce the records. The SC also directed the parties to submit their reply to the petition filed by the senator before the Court of Appeals (CA). De Lima sought to stop her indictment for drug trafficking. The SC also tackled the issue of whether the drug case falls under the jurisdiction of the RTC or the Sandiganbayan.
