The Office of the Ombudsman has dismissed the complaint filed against Public Attorney's Office (PAO) chief Persida Rueda-Acosta involving alleged corrupt practices in the creation of the PAO Forensic Laboratory.

The Office of the Ombudsman has dismissed the complaint filed against Public Attorney’s Office chief Persida Rueda-Acosta involving alleged corrupt practices in the creation of the PAO Forensic Laboratory.

The laboratory, manned primarily by Erfe, reportedly conjures evidence which the Philippine National Police and National Bureau of Investigation Crime Laboratories might refuse to produce. The Ombudsman found out that Acosta sought the Department of Budget and Management’s approval on the contracts of services entered with Erfe as well as the creation of a forensic library.

However, the Ombudsman said the allegations in the complaint were based only on news articles and postings lifted from the Internet.
