The Sandiganbayan orders the imprisonment of a former general manager of the Tugaya Water District in Lanao del Sur for embezzling P10 million in public funds intended to improve a water system.
The anti-graft court Sandiganbayan has found a former executive of a water distribution facility in Lanao del Sur guilty of embezzling more than P10 million in public funds intended for the improvement of a community’s water supply. Consequently, the court imposed a reclusion perpetua sentence on him.
In the ruling signed by Associate Justice Ronald Moreno and concurred by presiding Justice Amparo Tang and Bernelito Fernandez, the Sandiganbayan said the prosecution had proven that the accused misappropriated public funds and that a multimillion-peso water supply improvement project of the Tugaya Water District was neither implemented nor partially completed.
For malversation of public funds, Faisal was sentenced to reclusion perpetua. He was also ordered to pay a fine of P10.074 million, equivalent to the funds he misappropriated. The Office of the Ombudsman filed the case in 2018, accusing Faisal of conspiring with Alikahn Ebrahim, a private defendant, to defraud the Tugaya Water District of some P10.074 million.
