MANILA — Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr. Tuesday said the case that the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) filed against recalled Philippine Ambassador to Brazil Marichu Mauro over the maltreatment of her helper is “moving.”
In a tweet, Locsin said there is now a case against Mauro.
“I am neither Commie nor a police thug so I don’t do summary judgments. There is now a case: DFA vs. Marichu B. Mauro, CM II. Things are moving but if it looks like we’re railroading that’s the end of the case. As principle and practice I neither murder people nor careers,” he said.
On Nov. 9, a formal complaint was served to the former ambassador. Locsin, however, did not elaborate on the details of the complaint but said he has sent a memo to President Rodrigo Duterte about it.
