DoJ summons Ligots for P428-M tax evasion
By Benjamin B. Pulta 03/23/2011Embattled former military comptroller Lt. Gen. Jacinto Ligot and his wife Erlinda who are facing a Senate inquiry into their alleged illegal wealth have been summoned to appear before the Department of Justice for the preliminary investigation into the P428-million tax evasion charges against them.
The Ligots were directed to appear before prosecutors on April 6 and April 13 by Assistant State Prosecutor Stewart Mariano who sent separate summonses to Ligot and his wife.
The case stemmed from the tax evasion charges filed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue for eight counts of non-payment of tax and five counts of non-filing of income tax returns (ITRs) for taxable years 2001 to 2004. According to the BIR, Ligot failed to file his ITR in 2001 while his wife likewise ignored filing her ITRs in 2001 to 2004.
They also failed to declare their income in 2001 worth P41,854,181.57; P103,601,281.22 in 2002; P165,367,784.39 in 2003, and P184,995,700.14 in 2004..... MORE
