Thanks to Inquirer for the photo.
Sa kanyang statement pagdating niya dito kahapon ng umaga mula sa sampung taong paninirahan sa Amerika, klarong sinabi ni dating Police Senior Superintendent Michael Ray Aquino na hindi siya inutusan ni dating Pangulong Joseph Estrad o si Sen. Panfilo Lacson na kidnapin, saktan o patayin si Salvador ‘Bubby” Dacer, isang publicist, at ang kanyang driver na si Emmanuel Corbito.

Sinabi ni Aquino na nang ininterbyu siya ng media noong 2001, sinabi niya na wala siyang kinalaman sa pagkamatay ng dalawa at hanggang ngayon, ganun din ang sasabihin niya. “ That’s the truth and nothing has changed since then. Then and now, I still maintain my innocence.”

Dagdag pa ni Aquino,”Gusto ko pong malaman ng sambayanang Pilipino na wala pong utos sa akin si President Joseph Ejercito Estrada o si Senator Panfilo M. Lacson to kidnap, harm and/or murder anyone specifically Mr. Salvador Dacer and Mr. Emmanuel Corbito. Wala na po akong maidaragdag, dahil wala po akong karagdagang kaalaman.”

Aquino is facing murder charges in connection with the disappearance in November 2000 of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver, Emmanuel Corbito.

In his appeal, Aquino said three facts are clear:

Former police official in Dacer-Corbito case appeals extradition

Former police officer Michael Ray Aquino has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to junk the Philippine government’s request that he be extradited for the murder of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and Dacer’s driver, Emmanuel Corbito.

In his appeal filed Dec. 14, Aquino cited the lack of probable cause, noting the prosecution’s pattern of witness and evidence tampering.

Aquino anchored his appeal on the prosecution’s failure to produce Dacer and Corbito’s remains.

“Without a victim, there is no death. In the absence of death, there is no crime of murder. Without a crime, there can be no basis for a finding of probable cause,” he said.
