THE Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption bared on Saturday its plan to file an impeachment complaint against Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales in Congress.

“Anytime soon, VACC will make good its threat to file an impeachment complaint against Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales for various political offenses,” VACC lawyer Manuelito Luna said.

Last May, the group threatened to file impeach raps against Morales.

According to the VACC, Morales must be held liable for betrayal of public trust due to selective prosecution of cases, violation of the Constitution and/or betrayal of public trust due to inordinate delay or failure to promptly act on complaints and betrayal of public trust due to sanctioning the filing of losing cases in order to shield former President Benigno Aquino III from his culpability for the death of the SAF 44 troopers during the Jan. 25, 2015 Mamasapano clash in Maguindanao.

Luna said the Ombudsman also violated the 1987 Constitution in applying the abandonment of the condonation doctrine retroactively in the case of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo in defiance of the Supreme Court’s decision in Carpio-Morales vs. Jejomar Binay Jr.
