Ombudsman files plunder raps vs Marcoleta, 3 others
MANILA – The Office of the Ombudsman on Friday filed non-bailable criminal charges for
Marcoleta's indictment proceeded despite days of protests from his supporters, led by the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC).
He was also charged with three counts of violating Presidential Decree No. 46, which prohibits public officers from accepting gifts while in office.
The lawmaker’s co-accused are former Quezon City congressman Mike Defensor, Joseph Esperitu and Aristotle Viray.
The charge for plunder was raffled to the 3rd division, while the three counts of receiving gifts were raffled to the 1st, 4th and 6th divisions.
Marcoleta declared a net worth of PHP51 million last year and spent PHP112 million for his election bid, placing him in the 6th spot of the senatorial race.
He claimed the funds, which were received in three tranches in January of that year, came from donors who opted to remain anonymous but recognized his competence to be a senator. (PNA)
