The anti-graft court's third division affirmed the decision of the Valenzuela Regional Trial Court Branch 75 and dismissed the appeal filed by Marites Lopez. "The court finds that the prosecution was able to establish all the elements of the crime of malversation of public funds, through the documentary and testimonial evidence on record. The appellant's conviction for the said crime must therefore be sustained," read the 19-page resolution dated Feb. 27 and published online Tuesday. As acting cashier from December 2008 to January 2011, Lopez's duties included receiving payments for license fees and depositing the collections to the Land Bank of the Philippines daily.
