Napoles camp to file charges vs 3 Sandiganbayan justices By JOAHNA LEI CASILAO, GMA News
Published February 6, 2021 7:39pm The camp of Janet Lim Napoles on Saturday said they would file charges against three justices of the anti-graft court after they haphazardly convicted Napoles of graft and malversation in connection with the P10-billion pork barrel scam. Rony Garay, Napoles’ lawyer, said they were preparing appropriate charges against Justice Geraldine Faith Econg, Justice Reynaldo dela Cruz, and Justice Edgardgo Caldona “for gross ignorance of the law, manifest partiality, and extreme bias.” In a 103-page decision, the Sandiganbyan on Friday ruled that Napoles, former Cagayan de Oro representative Constantino Jaraula and three others had pocketed P19.2 million from a lawmaker s pork barrel budget and were thus guilty of three counts of graft and three counts of malversation.
