MANILA — The National Bureau of Investigation expects to conclude its investigation into a purported "honey trap" operation against Executive Secretary Ralph Recto within the next three to five days, according to NBI Director Melvin Matibag on Wednesday.
The accelerated timeline comes after the bureau issued subpoenas to persons of interest implicated in the alleged scheme. The investigation has intensified as authorities seek to establish the details and circumstances surrounding the plot.
Matibag did not disclose specific details about the investigation's progress or the identities of those subpoenaed. The NBI has been conducting the probe into the supposed entrapment operation, which has drawn attention given the high-profile position of the target.
The agency's commitment to completing the investigation within days suggests significant momentum in the case. Officials have not released information about potential charges or the nature of the alleged conspiracy.
The investigation remains ongoing as the NBI works to compile its findings and determine any criminal liability stemming from the alleged "honey trap" plot.
