Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez is not keen on running after “elusive” former Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano, who is now reportedly in the United States.
Gonzalez yesterday practically turned down the opposition's request for his agency to tap the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) to confirm reports that Garcillano had fled to New Jersey.
Speaking to reporters, the Justice chief claimed that while the election officer has an outstanding warrant from the House of Representatives for his failure to attend a legislative inquiry, technically Garcillano “is not a fugitive” under the definition of MLAT.
Gonzalez said the MLAT could only apply to persons with pending criminal cases.
Yeah right!
