A FISCAL dismissed the case against a Davao City-based call center accused of selling pornographic sites and materials online for lack of evidence.
Court record showed the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Davao Region sued some Cyber City Teleservices officials for violation of Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code in relation to Republic Act 8792, or the Electronic Commerce Act of 2000.
The filing of the case against the call center came after the CIDG Task Force Group Maverick conducted a raid at Cyber City on August 4 by virtue of a search warrant issued by then Regional Trial Court (RTC) Executive Judge Isaac Robillo.The team seized and confiscated 10 units of desktop computers.
Prosecutor Gaye Canete-Magdagasang, in her resolution dated October 7, however, said: "There is, however, no showing or no evidence at hand or no proper description that would strengthen the claim of the officers (CIDG)."
She said the documents submitted by CIDG showed no forensic result on the 10 desktop computers, which allegedly showed a pornographic site, thus the dismissal of the case.
Bert Barriga, Information and Technology Communication (ICT) Davao former president, said in Wednesday’s Club 888 at the Marco Polo Hotel that the Cyber City worked it out with its legal counsel.
He said the complaint was already addressed properly and there will be a clear rule of engagement next time.
