*Court papers reveal an orgy of torture
A case that threatened to reveal the underworld operations of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security has been settled out of court.

Mmegi has established that the Attorney General, in her capacity as the legal representative of DIS agents, paid over P200,000 to spare the security officers the glare of court proceedings.
