Deport Teves now, Timor-Leste urged

THE Department of Justice (DoJ) on Thursday called for the immediate deportation of expelled Negros Oriental lawmaker and fugitive Arnolfo Teves Jr. following allegations that his son bribed a Timor-Leste police official in exchange for special treatment of his father while in detention.

Based on reports, the son of Teves offered a member of the Criminal Investigation Police (PCIC) $2,000 in exchange for 'security' inside and outside Becora Prison.
