ICYMI: The Sandiganbayan, the country’s anti-graft court, junked another ill-gotten wealth case against late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos, his wife Imelda, and their alleged dummies due to lack of evidence. READ:
In dismissing Civil Case No. 0014, the Sandiganbayan’s Second Division added: “The respective counterclaims and/or cross claims of herein Defendants are likewise DISMISSED for their failure to prove the same by preponderance of evidence.”
The complaint sought the forfeiture and recovery of assets and properties owned by the defendants, who were alleged dummies or associates of the Marcos couple. Among the properties in question were Fantasia Filipina Resorts, Inc., Ocean Villas Condominium Corporation, and Olas del Mar Development Corporation, among others.
“Verily, nothing in these documents would show that said corporations or the amounts paid in the stocks of the said corporations came from the government nor acquired by them through illegal means or through their relationship with the Marcoses,” the court explained.
