“The NBI has graciously offered to assist in the filing of appropriate cases.”

Sa opisina ni NBI Deputy Director Vicente de Guzman III dumiretso sina Catriona kasama si Atty. Christopher Liquigan ng Alonso and Associates Law Offices.

Ayon kay Atty. De Guzman, “The reason why the NBI is conducting an investigation is to determine the persons accountable for its posting in the social media. Kahit sino tamaan niyan itsa-charge namin.”

Base naman sa pahayag ni Atty. Liquigan, “We strongly denounce this vicious attempt to tarnish the good name of Ms. Gray. These photos and whatever information statements that are being spread are fake and the pictures are digitally altered.”

Dagdag pa, “Actively coordinating with authorities to hold accountable whoever is behind this scheme and face penal sanctions accordingly. We will likewise take legal actions against those involved in the manufacture and publication of the said photo.”
