According to Supreme Court records obtained by Rappler, Imelda Marcos called the Sandiganbayan ruling 'shallow.' The state's lawyers said Imelda and the late dictator had a complex conspiracy to hide their ill-gotten wealth.

In appealing her conviction for seven counts of graft, Imelda Marcos, the widow of the late dictator told the Supreme Court the anti-graft court Sandiganbayan shredded her rights.

Records showed that in at least two notices from 2019 to 2020, Gesmundo had been inhibiting from the resolutions due to his being a commissioner of the Presidential Commission on Good Government from 1998 to 2001. This was a case handled initially by the PCGG, then turned over to the Office of the Ombudsman.

Records showed it was the First Division, Gesmundo's division albeit he inhibited, that required the submission of briefs in March 2019. But there were two notices on January and February 2020 by the Third Division. On January 12, 2021 the First Division issued a notice again. "The Sandiganbayan's decision is starkly shallow, otiosely written, vacuous in its content, and trite in its form. It achieved nothing and attempted at nothing. Its inadequacy speaks for itself," said Imelda's brief.

The OSP said"these cases were highly complex and extremely difficult to prosecute and resolve as they involve numerous foreign and local foundations used by the Marcoses under a scheme of layering and utilizing dummies to hide their ill-gotten wealth involving US$36 million."
