The Pampanga City Regional Trial Court Branch 42 issued a hold departure order against Globe Asiatique Realty Holdings Corporation owner Delfin Lee and his co-accused in a syndicated estafa case filed by the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF or Pag-IBIG Fund).
The Court of Appeals stopped the Makati City Regional Trial Court from implementing its ruling that granted the civil suit filed by Globe Asiatique Realty Holdings Corporation (GA) President Delfin Lee against Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund).
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is bent on pursuing the syndicated estafa case against realty firm Globe Asiatique (GA) owner Delfin Lee and four others, which the Court of Appeals (CA) has dismissed, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said on Tuesday.
The government will challenge in the Supreme Court the Court of Appeals’ dismissal of the syndicated estafa charge against a coaccused of fugitive Globe Asiatique president Delfin Lee, Malacañang said Monday.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima has ordered police and special so-called “cracker teams” to intensify the manhunt for the “Big Five” fugitives even as she admitted that the trail for the country’s most-wanted fugitives had grown cold.
“Why are there no takers,” Justice Secretary Leila De Lima asked Tuesday saying they have already increased the reward to P2 million but still, information for the arrest of the “Big Five” remains elusive.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima will confer with authorities on Tuesday to find out their progress in the manhunt for the “big five” fugitives including retired Major Gen. Jovito Palparan and former Palawan governor Joel Reyes and his brother.
Vice President Jejomar Binay on Wednesday urged Globe Asiatique (GA) developer Delfin Lee anew to face the graft charges filed against him.
The Supreme Court has denied the petition of fugitive real estate developer Delfin Lee questioning his indictment for syndicated estafa involving some P6.5 billion in allegedly anomalous loans that his company, Globe Asiatique, obtained from the government for a housing project in Pampanga province.
The Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals ruling paving way for the Department of Justice to pursue criminal prosecution of Globe Asiatique owner Delfin Lee and several others for syndicated estafa.
Divine Lee, the socialite daughter of fugitive real estate developer Delfin Lee, is the CEO and a board director of the Globe Asiatique Tower 2 Condominium in Mandaluyong City, documents obtained by the Philippine Daily Inquirer show.
There’s still hope that fugitive real estate developer Delfin Lee would be arrested because he is still in the Philippines, Vice President Jejomar Binay said Monday, quoting immigration and police authorities.
Vice President Jejomar Binay said that the P2 million bounty for the capture of Globe Asiatique owner Delfin Lee is proof of President Benigno Aquino III’s drive to give justice to Lee’s housing scam victims.
