Boxes of documents were brought to the Department of Justice (DoJ) this Friday to support money laundering complaints against dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo.
Also named in the complaint are Shiela Guo, Cassandra Ong, and over 30 others.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC), and Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) led the submission of 87 counts of charges.
The case reportedly involves transactions by Guo and other individuals linked to Hongsheng Gaming Technology, Baofu Land Development Inc., and Zun Yuan Technology Inc.
In a statement, DOJ Undersecretary Nicholas Felix Ty said that Shiela Guo does not qualify as a witness due to her significant role in the illegal activities.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla also expressed doubts about the credibility of Shiela’s testimony when she recently appeared before the senators.
Previously, the Court of Appeals (CA) issued a freeze order on the bank accounts and other assets of the dismissed mayor, following accusations of involvement in POGO operations in her town.
