(UPDATE) THE Department of Justice (DoJ) has found probable cause to indict suspended Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Director General Gerald Bantag and 15 others in connection with the ambush-slay of hard-hitting radio broadcaster Percival 'Percy Lapid' Mabasa and the killing of alleged middleman Jun Villamor.

In a resolution dated March 9, state prosecutors also indicted Bantag's right-hand man, former BuCor security officer Ricardo Zulueta, as a principal by inducement for the murder of Lapid and Villamor.
