The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday issued an immigration
lookout bulletin order (ILBO) against Sen. Leila de Lima and five others
for their alleged involvement in the Bilibid drug trade.
The order also includes former DOJ undersecretary Francisco Baraan III,
former Bureau of Corrections chief Franklin Bucayu, De Lima's former
driver Ronnie Dayan, former Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission
executive director Reginald Villasanta and De Lima's security aide
Joenel Sanchez.
"Based on the request of the NBI, the individuals subject of this
ILBO are allegedly involved in the proliferation and trade of illegal
drugs inside the National Bilibid Prison and other areas," the order
read.
The lookout departure order requires the subjects to ask permit from the DOJ for trips outside the country.
According to a report from The STAR, the DOJ said that the subjects
may attempt to place themselves beyond the reach of legal process by
leaving the country.
An ILBO may be issued on individuals facing fact-finding or preliminary investigations.
Police authorities have issued a subpoena against Baraan and Dayan
last week, ordering them to attend the House of Representatives
committee on justice's inquiry.
Baraan, however, had left the country for the United States last August while the whereabouts of Dayan is still unknown, said Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II in a press briefing last week.
