Discaya couple may be next to be charged — Remulla
Contractors Curlee and Sarah Discaya are expected to face criminal charges soon for their alleged involvement in anomalous flood control projects, as announced by Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla.
This announcement follows the recent filing of malversation and graft charges against former Ako Bicol partylist representative Zaldy Co and several DPWH officials concerning a P289-million flood control project in Oriental Mindoro.
Ombudsman Remulla indicated that preliminary investigations for several Discaya cases have concluded and are ready for resolution.
A total of nine cases involving the Discayas are being pursued, with potential charges including malversation and plunder, depending on the amounts involved.
Remulla anticipates that at least three of these cases could be filed in court as early as the following week, possibly by Friday.
