The Sandiganbayan has denied a request of murder convict Andal Ampatuan Jr. to dismiss the graft cases filed against him in connection with an allegedly anomalous fuel supply deal in Maguindanao.
Former Maguindanao governor Sajid Islam Ampatuan has been convicted of multiple counts of graft and falsification of public documents in connection with various anomalous transactions entered into by the provincial government in 2009.
