The controversial P100 billion scandal that had the country on a chokehold took a twist this week following disclosure that at the time the case was filed before the court, the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) had not released any prosecution docket on the matter.

It has come to light that the DCEC at the time had no evidence regarding allegations of the missing P100 billion, on Wilheminah 'Butterfly' Maswabi cases, and had not submitted any docket to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
