Ombudsman hits Jinggoy’s planned holiday travels
The Sandiganbayan's Fifth Division has ordered Senator Jinggoy Estrada to submit travel requirements for his planned trips to Japan and Europe.
Estrada's camp requested permission to travel to Japan from December 26 to 31 and to Norway, Iceland, and Austria from January 5 to 15.
The anti-graft court gave Estrada five days to provide an itinerary, hotel bookings, plane tickets, and affidavits of undertaking from his counsels.
The prosecution panel of the Office of the Ombudsman has opposed Estrada's travel requests, citing his ongoing investigation in connection with the flood control scam.
Estrada is currently facing plunder and graft charges related to the alleged misuse of his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
