Revilla camp seeks time to comment on civil liability motion 1 SHARES Share it! In its Jan. 23 motion, the prosecution urged the anti-graft court to hold Revilla civilly liable and for him to return P124,500,000 to the national treasury pursuant to Article 100 of the Revised Penal Code. Revilla’s lawyers insisted that he should not pay anything back because he never received any kickbacks from his PDAF endorsement. On the other hand, the prosecution argued that Revilla and Cambe set in motion the fraudulent acts that robbed the government of its funds. Since Revilla was accountable for the funds, the prosecution said he should have been more careful with how taxpayer money was being spent.
