Lawyers of former Armed Forces Chief of Staff Joselin Nazareno and former Agrarian Reform Secretary Horacio "Boy" Morales also appeared Tuesday at the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) – National Capital Region (NCR) in Camp Crame in compliance with the subpoena issued to them in relation to the alleged detention of military intelligence agent T/Sgt. Vidal Doble.

Morales’ lawyer arrived at the CIDG-NCR office at around 1:30pm while Nazareno’s followed at around 3pm.

The two met separately for about an hour with CIDG NCR chief Sr. Supt. Asher Dolina at the latter’s office.

It could not be known however what exactly transpired during the meetings.

But as far as Nazareno’s counsel is concerned, reporters learned that the lawyer also sought to have a copy of Doble’s sworn statement, but to no avail.

"We are here to find out if he (Nazareno) is a respondent or a witness in a case," Nazareno’s lawyer said.

The police have yet to disclose why Nazareno and Morales are implicated in the investigation on Doble’s allegations. They were among seven persons summoned by the CIDG-NCR to shed light on their probe.

But despite the grayness, Nazareno’s lawyer assured that his client will cooperate in said investigation./DMS
