PHILSTAR: Citing lack of probable cause, Pres Gloria M-Arroyo has asked the SC to dismiss the plunder charges against her for the alleged misuse of P365.9 million in Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) funds. Through her lawyer Rodolfo Jimenez, Arroyo said the necessary elements of plunder RA 2080 have not been established in the preliminary investigation conducted by the Office of the Ombudsman. He cited 21 cases wherein the SC upheld the existence doubt in acquitting an accused in a criminal case.
