The Bureau of Corrections has filed multiple complaints, including plunder and malversation of public funds, against suspended BuCor chief Gerald Bantag.
Complainant BuCor acting chief Gregorio Catapang lodged the multiple complaints before the National Prosecution Service of the Department of Justice on Monday.
It was stated in the six-page complaint that while Bantag was with the BuCor as director general, a P1 billion project for the construction of three prison facilities at Davao Prison and Penal Farm , Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm in Puerto Princesa, Palawan and Leyte Regional Prison with an estimated cost of P300 million, each were bidded out in a public bidding on September 17, 2020.
It added that Bantag's alleged sinister plan to "divert" or "misappropriate" public funds started when he had created a separate BuCor's Bidding and Award Committee for the aforementioned three infrastructure projects.
