KINASUHAN ni Kim Chiu ang kanyang kapatid na si Lakambini Chiu ukol sa
problema nila sa negosyo.
Naghain ng formal si Kim kahapon laban sa kanyang kapatid sa Office of the Assisrant City Prosecutor sa Quezon. Kasama niyang nagtungo ang mga abogadong sina Xylene Dolor at Archernar Gregana.
Sinamahan din si Kim ng kanyang kapatid na si Twinkle gayundin ng kanyang brother-in-law.
Kabilang sa kasong isinampa ni Kim sa kanyang kapatid na si Lakan ang qualified theft.
“Today, nag-file si Kim ng criminal case against Lakambini Chiu. We filed a criminal complaint for qualified theft. That’s all we can share for now,” ani Dolor sa panayam ni MJ Felipe ng ABS-CBN.
Nadiskubre ang “financial discrepancies” sa negosyo ng magkapatid anang abogado. “Right now I am not authorized to name the business but I think fans would know kung ano po ‘yung business ventures na she shared with Miss Lakambini Chiu.
“Generally I can say that she (Lakam) is part of the management of the business,” dagdag pa.
“She reached out and the lawyers reached out also.
“But ‘yun nga po, it has also been a statement of Miss Kim na it has been a very difficult decision for her to do this and to proceed with this step,” dagdag pa ng abogado.
“As far as I know, I have been in one or two meetings, but I know there have been several times na they reached out to each other,” sabi pa ni Dolor.
Sa isang statement, sinabi naman ni Kim na ang pagsasampa ng kaso laban kay Lakam ay para na rin sa “interest of transparency, accountability, and protecting her company.”
“I am issuing this statement with a heavy heart and with deep respect for the truth and for the people who have supported me throughout my career and my business journey.
“After careful consideration and months of internal review, I have made the difficult decision to file a legal case for qualified theft against my sister, Lakambini Chiu, in relation to serious financial discrepancies discovered within my business operations.
“This decision did not come easily. It is one of the most painful steps I have ever taken in my life.
“As many know, I built my business ventures — with hard work, passion, and trust in the people I love. Unfortunately, substantial amounts connected to my business assets were found missing.
“These discoveries forced me to take formal action to protect not just my company, but also the livelihoods of the people who work with me and the integrity of everything I have built.
“This is a private family matter that has now become a legal process. I am choosing transparency, responsibility, and accountability —vnot only for myself, but also for the brand and community that has supported me from the beginning.
“I ask for understanding, respect, as our family navigates this very difficult chapter. I am hopeful that through the proper legal channels, clarity and fairness will prevail.
“Despite this painful situation, I remain committed to my work, my supporters, and the continued growth of my business ventures. I also continue to pray for healing and resolution for everyone involved.
“Thank you for your support, compassion, and respect during this time.”
