00:23 and indecent behavior.
00:25 In the original report of the committee,

00:34 which was led by several congressmen.

00:40 to inform all government agencies
00:42 of Tevez's removal from the chamber.
00:45 Tevez's lawyer, Atty. Ferdinand Topacio,
00:48 called the committee's hearings a "kangaroo court."

01:05 The committee also insisted on its own decision
