De Lima orders NBI to arrest Cedric Lee, 4 others

Don’t tell us they can’t afford PHP12,000.

“Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila de Lima has ordered the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to serve warrants for the arrest of Cedric Lee and four others accused in the Vhong Navarro grave coercion case who have not posted bail,” reports ABS-CBN News correspondent Ina Reformina on ABS-CBNnews.com.

The other four are Ferdinand Guerrero, Bernice Lee, Simeon Raz, and Jose Paolo Calma. They’ve all been charged for grave coercion and serious illegal detention in connection with Navarro’s mauling last January 22. To date only the warrants of arrest for the grave coercion charge have been issued.

The two others involved in the case, Jed Fernandez and model Deniece Cornejo, have already posted the PHP12,000 bail.

In the event that Lee and the four others are arrested over the Lenten break, they can only post bail on Monday, April 21.
