The Sandiganbayan affirmed Thursday the conviction of Moro National Liberation Front founding chairman Nur Misuari in two graft charges, both arising from the ghost purchase of information technology educational materials amounting to P77.26 million when he was governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in 2001.
He is accused of graft and misuse of funds for allegedly conspiring with his co-accused to give “unwarranted benefits, advantage and privilege” to three private companies. But the latest ruling of the anti-graft court acquitted them of two malversation through falsification of public documents charges, owing to the failure of the prosecution to prove their guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Misuari, for his part, claimed he could not be held liable for a transaction that pushed through when he was no longer ARMM governor and that the non-delivery of items was based merely on “conjectures, speculations, and surmises.”
