MATAPOS manindigan ang pambansang pulisya na nasa bansa pa ang puganteng si Pastor Apollo Quiboloy ng Kingdom of Jesus Christ, pinahintulutan naman Court of Appeals ang Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) na i-freeze ang pera ng wanted na religious leader na pinaniniwalaang nagtatago sa KOJC Compound sa Davao City.
Bukod sa perang nakalagak sa 47 bank accounts, pasok din sa freeze order ang 7 malalawak na lupain limang mamahaling sasakyan at private jet ni Quiboloy.
Ayon sa CA, layon ng freeze order tiyakin hindi magagamit ni Quiboloy ang pera’t pag-aari sa patuloy na pag-iwas sa batas.
Kabilang rin sa naging bayan ng CA ang di umano’y kaduda-dudang pagpasok ng pera mula sa ibang bansa.
Gayunpaman, limitado lang sa 20 araw ang bisa ng freeze order.
“In order to avoid the possibility of the funds in the subject bank accounts and/or properties from being withdrawn, removed, transferred, concealed or placed beyond the reach of law enforcers, this court finds it appropriate and judicious to issue a 20-day freeze order as prayed for by petitioner over said bank accounts, including all other related or materially-linked accounts, and the real and personal properties enumerated in the ex-parte petition,” saad sa CA ruling
Saklaw din ng freeze order ang mga bank accounts ng mga kapanalig ni Quiboloy – sina Maria Teresita Dandan, Helen Pagaduan Panilag, Paulene Chavez Canada, Cresente Chavez Canada, Ingrid Chavez Canada, Sylvia Calija Cemañes, Jackielyn Wong Roy, Alona Mertalla Santander, at Marlon Bongas Acoo.
Damay din ang Children’s Joy Foundation, Inc. at Swara Sug Media Corporation.
“The verified allegations in the petition as well as the supporting documents attached thereto give the court reasonable ground to believe that the bank accounts enumerated above are indeed linked to unlawful activities and predicate crimes.”
