Police authorities arrested the wife of Jachob “Coco” Rasuman, a suspect in a pyramiding scam in Lanao del Sur. Senior Superintendent Rodolfo Llorca, Pasay city chief of police, said Princess Tomawis Rasuman was arrested Wednesday night by virtue of a warrant issued by a local court.
A Cagayan de Oro City court on Friday issued warrants of arrest for the wife, father and other relatives of alleged investment scam leader Jachob “Coco” Rasuman following the filing of two new syndicated estafa complaints by the Department of Justice with the court.
The Department of Justice (DoJ) has ordered the filing of two counts of syndicated estafa charges against investment scam leader Jachob “Coco” Rasuman and his family in Lanao del Sur.
Contrary to what some lawmakers said, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) acted “fast enough” in looking into recent massive investment scams, particularly the P12-billion scam perpetuated by Aman Futures Group Philippines in the Visayas and Mindanao, Justice Secretary Leila De Lima said on Wednesday.
Government regulators have failed to stop the proliferation of investment scams despite the harsh penalty imposed on economic fraud, and senators want to know why.
Before Aman Futures, there was the Jachob “Coco”’ Rasuman group in Marawi City which, according to the National Bureau of Investigation, got even more money from its investors before it was shut down.
