Prosecutors justify dropping of plunder, graft raps vs Bonoan

Prosecutors in Manila are defending their decision to drop plunder and graft charges against former Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan, stating that the move is merely a technical adjustment and won't affect his co-defendants. Assistant State Prosecutor Reza Casila-Derayunan emphasized that the change won't prejudice Bonoan's co-accused, aiming to streamline the legal process. This decision comes amid broader scrutiny over how graft and corruption cases are handled, raising questions about prosecutorial discretion and the fairness of the legal system in addressing corruption.
