The Sandiganbayan Fourth Division has dismissed the graft and falsification charges filed against former officials of the Department of Finance (DOF) officials after finding that the prosecution’s evidence was insufficient.
Raul de Vera and Rosanna Diala, officers of the One Stop Shop Inter-Agency Tax Credit and Drawback Center of the DOF, are two of the co-accused of former Undersecretary Antonio Belicena.
They were accused of issuing Tax Credit Certificate No. 7711 in the amount of P7,350,444 on Domestic Capital Equipment in favor of JAM Liner Inc. on January 4, 1996. This came from the purchase of 10 units of Mitsubishi buses.
