FORMER Philippine National Police chief Jesus Verzosa on Friday was acquitted by the Sandiganbayan over a controversial chopper deal in 2009.A ruling by the anti-graft court's Seventh Division, penned by Associate Justice Ma. Theresa Dolores Gomez-Estoesta, cleared Verzosa and several former officials of the PNP over the anomalous purchase of two standard Robinson R44 Raven II helicopters with Serial Numbers 1372 and 1374.
Also, the ruling states that the 'chopper scam' that riled the PNP in 2011 for their purchase of two standard helicopters centered on the complicity of former first gentleman Juan Miguel 'Mike' Arroyo, as those helicopters were his property.'Dangling on a conspiracy angle, the prosecution theorized that these two helicopters were previously owned by Atty. Arroyo.
