00:00DLP Beyond Reasonable Doubt, this is the case of Taguig Regional Trial Court in the case of Denise Cornejo, the negotiator of Sir Decli and two others related to the case of Serious Illegal Detention for Ransom
00:12that was filed by TV host Bong Navarro.
00:16Salima Refran has the first news.
00:20The police have arrested and guarded the model Denise Cornejo in Taguig Hall of Justice.
00:27She was followed by Hathol who filed a Guilty Beyond Reasonable Doubt against her, the negotiator of Sir Decli, Simeon Palmaras and Ferdinand Guerrero for the case of Serious Illegal Detention for Ransom that was filed by actor Bong Navarro.
00:42Cornejo was immediately arrested, along with his conflicted partner, Ras, for serving a sentence of perpetual reclusion or 20 to 40 years in prison.
00:54According to Taguig RTC Branch 153, it is clear that they planned the imprisonment of Navarro in 2014 to extort him for money.
01:04In truth, according to the court, their plan was new, long and after the crime was committed.
01:10According to the court, Cornejo hired Navarro to go to his condo unit to corner his accomplices and extort money in exchange for his revenge in the blotter against Navarro.
01:22Cornejo's bank account was seen in Navarro's text message, where he was supposed to send the extorted money.
01:29From the court, Cornejo and Ras were directed to Taguig Police for a booking process and medical.
01:36After that, Cornejo was brought to Correctional Institution for Women or CIW in Mandaluyong.
01:42Ras was brought to Belibid in Muntinlupa.
01:45The four of them were canceled.
01:47They were not allowed to extend the bail because the charges against them were guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
01:54We were very sad and shocked that the judge made such a decision.
01:58She cried when her mother cried, but only for a short while.
02:01In fact, she was very composed.
02:04She was smiling.
02:05She was telling me that she will accept that.
02:08The court also ordered to issue an arrest warrant for Lee and Guerrero for not attending the promulgation because they felt bad.
02:18Last night, Lee confessed to the NBI.
02:22The NBI sent Lee to a place in Mandaluyong City after he was able to talk.
02:27When it came to the NBI's arrest, Lee was involved in the booking process.
02:32He was also involved in the medical and dental procedure.
02:35This morning, they will return the warrant to the court and wait for Lee's decision.
02:39Lee will appeal in the Court of Appeals.
02:42He contacted the NBI himself.
02:44There was an intermediary who gave us the numbers.
02:51We exchanged numbers and talked to Cedric Lee.
02:55He will be here temporarily because we will not be able to return the warrant tonight.
02:59There were no elements of crime.
03:02The elements of illegal detention were not included.
03:08We didn't detain him for more than three days, just a few minutes with the purpose of bringing him to the police.
03:16We never inflicted any serious physical injuries.
03:19His doctor testified.
03:21There were no ransoms.
03:22He offered damages to the police station.
03:26The court also ordered the four prisoners to pay Navarro a total of 300,000 pesos in damages.
03:33The actions of Kornejo and Lee were based on Kornejo's allegation against Navarro
03:38that he was brought home in the case of rape and acts of lasciviousness that was dismissed in the DOJ,
03:43but the Court of Appeals revoked it in 2022.
03:47Navarro was imprisoned before the court allowed him to appeal.
03:50But in February 2023, the Supreme Court said that Kornejo's statements in the court were inconsistent, unclear, and doubtful.
04:00The Supreme Court itself said that nothing happened,
04:04there is no evidence to show that Mr. Bong Navarro committed any crime which would have justified his being detained.
04:12The court also said that the fact of detention is clear.
04:17It is also clear to the court that Mr. Bong Navarro sustained serious physical injuries.
04:23Navarro did not participate in the promulgation, but he gave a statement in the program It's Showtime.
04:29Rollercoaster, I went through it. It's hard to explain.
04:32To my family, thank you because you became strong.
04:37Of course, to Tanya, I have a lot of shortcomings, but you didn't leave me.
04:48I have a lot of sins, but you're still there.
04:52I will repent to you to the best of my ability until the last moment of my life.
04:59I love you very much. Thank you.
05:03Kornejo's family said that they are considering the possibility of appealing the court's decision.
05:10Hopefully, there can be a decision favoring her. If not, I guess it will go to the highest court.
05:18The camp of Naraz and Guerrero continues to receive panic.
05:22This is the first news in five sentences for GMA Integrated News.
05:48.
