Meh. It’s the Philippines 🇵🇭 They’ll put her in some 5* accommodations and call it jail. US has nothing on 🇵🇭when it comes to IdentityPolitics. All her kids & past cronies still involved in politics. She’s like HRC, untouchable! CorruptAF 😏

I want the shoes.

. . . but, but, how will she hoe her garden

I thought she was dead

Inspired by Malaysia, right?

Sweet justice

I assume she still has a few pairs of running shoes?

For those wondering what 'Graft' is: Interesting, as I doubt there is a paper trail.

Timely

Amazed this horse hasn't left the barn already. Weird throwbacks today, Gorbachev, Imelda Marcos, lol.

42 years seems like a long time to wait. There is hope for Felony Clinton after all! (I was in the Philippines when they were deposed.)

From the 1980s?! Is there no statute of limitations in The Philippines...

i had no idea she was still alive. if you had asked me yesterday, i would have said no.

A little late isn't it?

Corruption by leaders, or former leaders in this case. What a shocker.

Better late than never.

Lock her up!

Imelda Marcos posts bail for graft conviction in PhilippinesMANILA, Philippines (AP) — Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos on Friday posted a $7,400 bail for provisional liberty after she was found guilty of graft and ordered imprisoned. Marcos, 89, was convicted last week of illegally funneling about $200 million to Swiss foundations in the 1970s when she served as Metropolitan Manila governor while her husband, late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, placed the Philippines under martial law. She was ordered to serve 6 to 11 years in prison for each of the seven counts of violating an anti-corruption law. She paid in shoes. I'll bet Ivanka and Melanie both have more shoes. I can imagine Donald Trump and his entire family gleefully rubbing their hands together and saying, “So you’re telling me there’s a chance we won’t spend the rest of a natural lives in prison no matter how much we stole from America?!”

Imelda Marcos convicted of graft, court orders her arrestMANILA, Philippines (AP) — A Philippine court found former first lady Imelda Marcos guilty of graft and ordered her arrest Friday in a rare conviction among many corruption cases that she's likely to appeal to avoid jail and losing her seat in Congress. The special anti-graft Sandiganbayan court sentenced Marcos, 89, to serve 6 to 11 years in prison for each of the seven counts of violating an anti-corruption law when she illegally funneled about $200 million to Swiss foundations in the 1970s. Neither Marcos nor anyone representing her attended Friday's court hearing and no one issued any reaction on her behalf. Maybe jail is a better option for her The Philippines government is a fuckfest Will they give a jail cell to her shoes?
