Ombudsman pushes for freezing of P130.59 million Corona assets

Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales has sought for the freezing of P130.59 million assets of former Chief Justice Renato Corona and his wife, Cristina, before the Sandiganbayan.

This developed after Ombudsman Morales, in a 27-paged decision, filed a forfeiture case against the Corona couple for allegedly using their position in amassing of ill-gotten wealth and asked the anti-graft court to issue a writ of preliminary attachment which will freeze the assets of Mr. and Mrs. Corona, whether in peso or in dollar deposits, in banks and real estate properties in Quezon City and Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City.
