Awaiting deadline 20% Immediate Dismissal
The anti-graft court accepts the special prosecutors' evidence as insufficient to sustain a conviction, granting Revilla's motion for leave and dismissing the malversation charges immediately. This ruling ends the legal jeopardy for the former senator without further proceedings.
