The Sandiganbayan Fourth Division has cleared a private individual who is involved in the tax credit fraud case of former officials of the Department of Finance (DOF).
The demurrer to evidence of Jantex Philippines Inc. General Manager Angel Chua was granted by the anti-graft court because the prosecution was unable to prove his ill intentions and common purpose with accused public officials.
Chua was slapped with a violation of Section 3(e) of R.A. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act for acting in conspiracy with officials of the One-Stop Shop Inter-Agency Tax Credit and Duty Drawback Center of the DOF.
