Court junks Binay son’s bid to dismiss graft, falsification raps

THE Sandiganbayan Third Division has denied former Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin "Junjun" Binay Jr.'s plea to nullify the charge sheets accusing him of graft and of falsification in connection with the alleged anomalous construction of the Makati City Hall Parking Building.

"A perusal of the above-quoted Informations reveals that the allegations contained therein comply with the requirements of Section 6, Rule 110 of the Rules of Court since they sufficiently allege the constitutive elements of the crime of falsification of public documents under Article 171 of the RPC," the court said in part in a ruling promulgated on March 12.
