MANILA, Philippines – Senator-judge Panfilo “Ping” Lacson denies filing a perjury case against self-confessed Davao Death Squad member and former police officer Arturo Lascañas during Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial on Wednesday.

The issue was raised after defense counsel Mark Vinluan presented a news report claiming Lacson intended to sue Lascañas for perjury following the latter’s retraction of parts of his testimony in the extrajudicial killings investigation.

Lacson said that while Lascañas did retract some of his statements, the senator added that he never filed such a complaint./ dp
