"There have been some leads. We're givingit due course by conducting fact-finding" she said.

Her office took noticeof the October complaint by Police Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido, head of Albuera,Leyte, police who said De Lima received payments from drug lord Kerwin Espinosa.

Morales  claimed a month ago that she was not inclined to investigate the senator, as the leads were insufficient even as she was being probedby the House of Representatives.
