A municipal trial court in Antique has issued 24 warrants of arrest against a former employee of the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
LTO Chief Jose Arturo “Jay Art” Tugade said the issuance of the arrest warrant is part of the aggressive campaign of the LTO against fixers.
“The filing of cases against this corrupt employee serves as an example that LTO offices around continue are doing everything to heed my call to stamp out corruption at their respective areas of jurisdiction. Crime really does not pay at the LTO,” said Tugade.
He is referring to Alfredo De Leon, a former employee of the TO’s Antique district office who was charged earlier of 12 counts of Falsification of Public Documents, and 12 counts of Violation of Sec. 4(e) in relation to Sections 21 (h) & 22(b) of Republic Act 11032, or the “Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.”
The 24 separate orders were issued by the Hon. Gemma Bordon-Tady, Presiding Judge at the Municipal Trial Court of San Jose, Antique, on Jan. 12.
The total bail for all the cases was set at P1.296 million.
