로단테 마르코레타 상원의원이 선거 후원금 의혹과 관련해 옴부즈맨 사무소에 부정부패 혐의로 고발되었습니다. 해당 고발 건은 현재 옴부즈맨이 추가 조사를 진행 중인 초기 단계에 머물러 있습니다.
이번 고발은 부정부패 및 대통령령 제46호 위반 혐의를 제기하고 있습니다. 이는 마르코레타 의원이 2025년 5,100만 페소의 순자산을 신고했음에도 불구하고, 초기 신고된 기부금 없이 상원의원 선거 운동에 1억 1,200만 페소를 지출한 것에서 비롯되었습니다.
마르코레타 의원은 이후 선거 운동 기간이 시작되기 전 7,500만 페소의 후원금을 받았음을 확인했습니다. 그는 당시 자신이 아직 후보자가 아니었다는 이유로 해당 금액을 선거 기부금 및 지출 내역서에 포함하지 않았습니다.
선거관리위원회는 지난 3월 그에게 어떠한 선거법 위반 혐의도 없다고 결론 내렸습니다. 향후 옴부즈맨은 산디간바얀(반부패 법원)에 기소 여부를 결정할 예정입니다.
