Speaker’s bill wants OSG to pursue ill-gotten wealth cases


Fate of OGCC, PCGG personnelOGCC and PCGG lawyers and personnel will not be automatically absorbed to the OSG. As for the PCGG functions, the OSG will take over the filing and prosecution of forfeiture cases to recover ill-gotten wealth. This means the OSG will also have the power to grant immunity from forfeiture suits to any person who provides information or testifies in ill-gotten wealth investigations. The number of OSG legal divisions, which have 10 lawyers each, will be increased to at least 50 from the current 30. During the transition, OGCC lawyers will be required to submit a status report of all the cases they handle.
