MANILA, Philippines – The Marcoses scored another victory against the government after the Sandiganbayan dismissed a civil case filed by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) for allegedly amassing ill-gotten wealth worth P1.052 billion. “Evidently, the plaintiff Republic failed to prove by preponderance of evidence that the defendants by themselves, or in conspiracy with defendants Marcoses, obtained ill-gotten wealth,” Sandiganbayan said. This is the second forfeiture case against the Marcoses and their friends which was dismissed this year. Earlier in August, the same division dismissed another P102 billion forfeiture case against Marcos’ kin and alleged cronies. /mufREAD: P102-B forfeiture case vs Marcos, pals junkedADVERTISEMENTRead NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
