Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV filed the criminal complaints of graft and plunder against Duterte and Go on Friday, July 5, before the Department of Justice . by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism that CLTG Builders and Alfrego Builders and Supply, which are owned by Go’s father and sibling, cornered the most number and biggest projects in the Davao region since 2007, when Duterte was mayor of Davao City, to 2017 when he was already Philippine president.
The anti-graft law punishes, among others, manifest partiality to a private company, and causing undue injury to the government in the form of, for example, delayed projects. Trillanes’ complaint alleged the awarding of contracts to Go’s kin under the leadership of Duterte falls squarely on the law, including Sections 3 and 3 which prohibit public officials from having direct or indirect interest in businesses that have transactions with the government.
For perspective, businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles was judged guilty of plunder in the pork barrel scam because projects were proven to be non-existent, and the discretionary funds exceeding P50 million went to enrich herself.
The DOJ can endorse the complaints filed by Trillanes to the Ombudsman. In the pork barrel scam, the DOJ did the initial investigation and were deputized co-prosecutors when former Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales took over and pursued the case up to the Sandiganbayan.
