HINATULAN ng Sandiganbayan ng tatlong bilang ng panunuhol kahapon, si Senador
Jinggoy Estrada kaugnay ng pork barrel scam, pero napawalang-sala siya sa kasong
pandarambong.
May parusang mula walo hanggang siyam na taon ang direktang panunuhol,
samantalang ang hindi direktang panunuhol ay dalawa hanggang tatlong taon.
Pinagbabayad din si Estrada ng multang ₱3 milyon.
Nag-concur unanimously sa desisyon ng Fifth Division ng Sandiganbayan sina Associate
Justices: Rafael Lagos, Maria Theresa Mendoza-Arcega, at Maryann Corpus-Mañalac.
Samantala, sa opisyal na pahayag ni Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, “He can still
file a Motion for Reconsideration with the Sandiganbayan; he can still file an appeal by
certiorari with the Supreme Court.”
“Until and unless the decision becomes final and executory, Sen. Jinggoy is duty-
bound to continue performing his functions as Senator of the Republic,” dagdag ni
Zubiri.
