THE Sandiganbayan has affirmed its resolution issued early this year denying the plea of former Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation chairperson Efraim Genuino to be acquitted in 19 graft and 20 malversation of public funds charges filed against him.
“They have been duly considered, squarely addressed, and found to be without merit in the Court’s resolution, subject of the present motion for reconsideration,” the Sandiganbayan stressed. Genuino argued that in the said cases, the Court ruled that the P26.7 million Pagcor money spent for the advance purchase of Baler film tickets was under Pagcor’s operational expenses fund which, he argued, can be disbursed without being subjected to government auditing and accounting rules and regulations.
