The Court of Appeals (CA) has extended the freeze order on the bank accounts, properties, and other assets of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
This was confirmed by KOJC legal counsel Atty. Dinah Tolentino-Fuentes during a press conference in Davao City on Thursday, August 29.
According to Atty. Tolentino-Fuentes, the freeze order has been extended until February 3 of next year. She added that their camp has not yet received a copy of the extended freeze order.
It can be recalled that on August 5, the CA initially issued a 20-day freeze order on Quiboloy’s assets, including those of KOJC and Swara Sug Media Corp., which operates Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI), KOJC’s media arm.
The freeze order covers 10 bank accounts, seven real properties, five motor vehicles, and one aircraft owned by KOJC, as well as 47 other bank accounts, 16 real properties, and 16 motor vehicles associated with the organization.
The freeze order was requested by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and approved by the CA after finding reasonable grounds to believe that Quiboloy’s bank accounts are connected to illegal activities and crimes such as human trafficking, sexual and child abuse, among others.
