Naghain ng 12 kaso ng civil forfeiture ang AMLC sa mga anomalya sa flood control

Naghain ang Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) ng 12 petisyon para sa civil forfeiture sa Regional Trial Court kaugnay ng mga anomalya sa mga proyekto ng flood control. Ito ay malaking pagtaas mula sa tatlong kaso noong nakaraang buwan, at naglabas na ng 11 provisional asset preservation orders ang korte. Maghahain pa ng higit pang petisyon ang AMLC sa mga darating na araw.

MANILA, Philippines — Nagpalawak na nang husto ang imbestigasyon ng Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) sa mga umano'y anomalya sa mga proyekto ng flood control, na naghain ng kabuuang 12 civil forfeiture cases upang maibalik ang mga pinaghihinalaang illehitimo nitong ari-arian.

Ayon sa AMLC sa isang email sa The STAR, ang 12 petisyon sa Regional Trial Court (RTC) ay malaking pagtaas mula sa tatlong kaso noong nakaraang buwan. Naglabas na ng 11 provisional asset preservation orders ang RTC, na nagbabawal sa paggalaw o pagbebenta ng mga ari-arian habang nagpapatuloy ang mga kaso. "AMLC will file more petitions in the coming days," ani AMLC.

Batay ito sa naunang freeze orders mula sa Court of Appeals pagkatapos ng mga buwang imbestigasyon. Walang naipit na ari-arian mula sa mga naunang freeze orders bago ang paghain ng mga kaso, na nagpapakita ng epektibo ng mga restriksyon.

Hanggang Marso, nag-freeze ang AMLC ng P27.8 bilyong ari-arian mula sa 862 indibidwal at 648 entity, kabilang ang 7,970 bank accounts, 219 real properties, 253 motor vehicles, at 11 aircraft. Sa kaugnay na usapin, naaprubahan ng Sandiganbayan noong Abril 22 ang precautionary hold departure order laban kay dating Speaker Martin Romualdez kaugnay ng umano'y P56 bilyong kickback scheme sa ghost flood control projects, ayon sa Ombudsman.
