00:00Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and her alleged associates will have to prepare themselves for a gauntlet of legal battles

00:07once all of them are apprehended by authorities.

00:09This after three government agencies filed another case against Guo and others before the Department of Justice or DOJ.

00:17Luisa Errizpe has the details.

00:22Not only one, but three government agencies have come together

00:26to file a formal complaint against former Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, Sheila Guo, Cassandra Ong and 33 others.

00:33This new complaint filed jointly by the National Bureau of Investigation, Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission

00:40and Anti-Money Laundering Council before the Department of Justice

00:44is a violation of Republic Act No. 9160 or Law on Anti-Money Laundering.

00:50Authorities said they have filed 87 counts of money laundering against Guo and others

00:56for the allegedly illegal operations of POGOs in Pampanga and Tarlac.

01:01The government will continue to investigate and uncover the perpetrators behind the illegal operations in Bamban and Porak POGO hubs.

01:10The AMLC said Guo is likely behind all of the schemes, hence she is the main respondent of the complaint.

01:17It is believed she and her minions laundered about 7 billion pesos all in all.

01:22Based on our findings, she is the principal in the money laundering committed in this case.

01:29She used several entities in transferring her money.

01:34It went to an entity, ultimately it ended up with BAUFU to pay among others.

01:45The DOJ explained Cassandra Ong was included because they believe only one group is behind the illegal POGO operations in Bamban, Tarlac and Porak, Pampanga.

01:55The PAOC also stressed it is possible the income remitted from the scams and left untouched by the Lucky South 99 was used to build the POGO hub in Bamban.

02:05Where did the money from BAUFU come from?

02:07Partly from Lucky South 99, partly from Alice Guo's accounts that could not be explained where it came from.

02:14For the DOJ, they can see this complaint is backed up by strong evidence.

02:19But still, they vowed to observe fairness in hearing both sides of the complaint.

02:23And now that the AMLC has completed and in coordination with the DOJ and the other relevant agencies,

02:30we believe we have a very strong and airtight case of money laundering against the three named respondents.

02:39But of course, there will be due process afforded to all of these respondents.

02:45Meanwhile, based on the latest information acquired by the DOJ, Alice Guo is still in Jakarta, Indonesia.

02:52They already requested for a blue notice from the International Police or Interpol against Guo,

02:58and to upgrade the request soon to red once a case is filed against Guo in court.

03:04On the other hand, the AMLC said all the bank accounts and personal assets of Guo are still frozen up to January 2025.
