NOOSE TIGHTENS ON EX-FIRST COUPLE, IGGY

Senate report: Mike Arroyo owned choppers

By Angie M. Rosales 10/13/2011

It’s ex-FG or former First Gentleman Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo who is the real owner of the helicopters passed off as brand new and sold to the Philippine National Police (PNP) in a spurious P105-million transaction in 2009, a report on a Senate probe of the anomalous deal indicated yesterday.

Such is among the findings made by the Senate blue ribbon committee in its report, due to be presented today by its chairman, Sen. Teofisto “TG” Guingona III, before proceeding to the Office of the Ombudsman for the filing of graft charges against Arroyo, former PNP Chief Jesus Verzosa and a string of others, it was gathered yesterday.

Sources said Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo is also recommended to be prosecuted, although Guingona would not confirm or deny, merely saying that those called to be criminally charged are “the big ones.”

Members of the Senate committee on accountability of public officers and investigation are expected to file
today the complaints at the Office of the Ombudsman against persons involved in the acquisition of overpriced second-hand helicopters by the Philippine National Police (PNP)..... MORE

"Guingona said the filing of charges will be preceded by the release the committee report during a press conference.

"“After the press conference, Sen. TG Guingona, together with other senators, will file the appropriate complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman against the people who conspired and took part in the anomalous transactions,” a media advisory from the committee said."
