Filing of raps vs Princess Empress owners backed

A LAWMAKER has lauded the Department of Justice (DoJ) for recommending the filing of criminal charges against the owners of the ship that caused the catastrophic Mindoro oil spill last year.

Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla approved the recommendation of a DoJ panel of prosecutors to indict the corporate officers of RDC Reield Marines Services Inc., the shipping company that owned the vessel, as well as an employee of the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) and a private individual.
