THE Department of Justice (DoJ) filed criminal charges against lawyer Lorna Kapunan for slander or grave oral defamation in connection with the accusations she publicly made against a Law dean.

In two separate resolutions released on Wednesday, the DoJ found probable cause to prosecute Kapunan for slander under Article 358 of Revised Penal Code for her statements against Nilo Divina of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) College of Law in TV interviews she granted in 2017.
