Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla says he expects Senator Loren Legarda and her son, Batangas Rep. Leandro Leviste, to return to the Philippines amid the Ombudsman’s anti-graft investigation involving them. Remulla made the remarks during a press conference after the Bureau of Immigration confirmed that Legarda and Leviste left the country on Aug. 2, with their departures described as separate flights to France. Remulla said he does not believe they will “escape” and expects they will come back, adding that they may return with “handcuffs” if they do not return voluntarily. Both outlets report Remulla’s view that the individuals will return, while also noting the basic travel timeline and destination as the trigger for his statement. The reporting does not include details on the specific allegations or the current status of the underlying Ombudsman case, beyond confirming that the investigation is ongoing and that the officials have left the country.
