THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed a plunder complaint against former government officials on Wednesday over a P255-million right-of-way scam. Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Rogelio Singson and 33 other former and current DPWH officials face the plunder complaint, on top of a graft complaint. The plunder complaint is part of an alleged P8.7-billion scam that involved fake compensation claims on lands used for government projects. The NBI said they were initially looking at 50 titles but as of now, only nine titles have been found to be spurious or fake. In March 2015, all nine claims were fully paid,” the NBI said.
