A military tribunal in the Philippines questioned two bank managers Thursday about six million pesos of his deposits:
INQ7—TWO branch managers of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) testified on Thursday before a military tribunal on Thursday regarding six million pesos of retired Major General Carlos Garcia’s deposits, which he allegedly failed to declare in his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN). …
Garcia, a former Armed Forces comptroller, is on trial for alleged corruption and possession of a “green card.” He is charged with alleged violation of Provision 96 and 97 of the Articles of War, conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline. …
I posted an update on Major General Carlos Garcia back in December 2004 with what the United States Congress knew of the matter. To date, the FBI has not said whether or not U.S. anti-terror funds allocated to the Philippines were ever abused by the general.
