The Sandiganbayan Sixth Division has affirmed its decision, denying the urgent manifestation and motion to suspend trial filed by former Bureau of Immigration (BI) Deputy Commissioner Michael Robles.

Robles, together with former BI Deputy Commissioner Al Argosino and Asian Gaming Service Providers Association, Inc. President Wenceslao Sombero Jr., had been charged due to the reported extortion of P50 million from 1,316 arrested Chinese nationals who were violating Philippine immigration laws back in 2016.

The anti-graft court already denied his motion on April 15, so he filed a motion for reconsideration and argued that he can no longer file a motion to quash on the ground of double jeopardy once the court renders its judgment on his three consolidated cases. He also believed that the Sandiganbayan would be wasting its time and resources if the SC subsequently annulled its proceedings.Robles elevated the case to the SC with a petition for certiorari and application for temporary restraining order on March 8, 2019.
