Plunder case inihain ng VACC vs DTI chief (P1.1 bilyon nawala sa kaban ng bayan)

IPINAGHARAP ng kasong plunder, technical smuggling at economic sabotage ng Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) sa Department of Justice (DOJ) si Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) secretary  Ramon Lopez na chairman rin ng Board of Investment (BOI) dahil sa paggamit sa kanyang posisyon para paboran ang isang car manufacturer sa bansa.

Bukod kay Lopez, sinampahan din ng kaso ng VACC ang 10 opisyal ng Hyundia Motor Company (HMC) at Hyundai Asia Resource Inc, (HARI) dahil sa paglabag sa Section 3602 ng Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines in relation to Section 1400 ng Republic Act 10863.

Tinukoy nina Atty. Manuel Obedoza at Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, abogado ng VACC, ang iba pang kinasuhan na sina Mong-Koo Chung, Chairman ng HMC; Won-Hee Lee, Chief Executive Officer ng HMC; Yong Suk Lee, Pre-sident ng HMC; Richard Lee, Chairman Emeritus ng HARI; Edward Go, Chairman ng HARI; Conrad Marty Vice Chairman ng HARI; Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo, President and CEO ng HARI; Eleazar Reyes, Member ng Board of Director ng HARI; Ladislao Avilla Jr., Board Member ng HARI at Cristina Salvador na siyang Customs broker ng HARI.

Isa pang Undersecrtary ng DTI na hindi pa tinutukoy ang pangalan ang sasampahan din ng kaso ng VACC sa susu-nod na mga araw.

Sa 12-pahinang inihaing kaso, sinabi nina attorneys Obedoza at Topacio, nalugi nang mahigit sa P1 bilyon ang gobyerno na dapat ay collection na VAT at Customs duties mula sa importation ng iba’t ibang motor vehicle ng HMC.

“As a result of HARI’s false pretenses and fraudulent representation, the government was defrauded of collecting VAT and Customs duties from its importation in the amounts of P1.1 billion,” ani Obedoza.

Nakasaad sa reklamo, ang DTI at BOI ang pangunahing ahensiya ng pamahalaan na ang mandato ay ipatupad ang rationalization program ng gobyerno, bantayan at patawan ng parusa ang mga kom-panyang lumalabag sa umiiral na batas at hindi magpagamit sa mga nabanggit.

Sinabi nina Atty. Obedoza at Atty. Topacio, ang pagsasampa nila ng kaso laban kay Lopez at iba pang res-pondent ay layunin nilang makatulong sa kampanya ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na tuldukan ang ginagawang graft and corruption ng ilang tiwaling opisyal ng gobyerno.

“Bukod sa droga ay galit din ang Pangulong Duterte sa graft and corruption. Nais ng VACC na makatulong sa kampanya ng Pangulo,” ani Topacio.
