THE Endo and Zombadings director Jade Castro and his three companions have been released from the Catanauan Bureau of Jail Management and Penology facility on Monday night.
Castro and his companions were arrested without waraant on February 1 in Quezon Province over arson charges. The groud had been accused of burning down moden jeepney in Quezon Province.
Castro and his friends – sales manager Ernesto Orcine, civil engineer Noel Mariano, and civil engineer Dominic Ramos – were freed, according to Jasper Castro, Jade’s brother, in a screenshot shared on X by human rights lawyer and legal counsel Chel Diokno.
Judge Julius Francis Galvez of Catanauan Regional Trial Court Branch 96 trashed the destructive arson complaints filed against the group.
“The information was quashed on the ground of lack of jurisdiction of the court on the persons of the accused due to the invalidity of their arrest. Technically, case is dismissed but without prejudice as to refiling,” Michael Marpuri, one of Castro’s lawyers, told ABS-CBN.
