INQUIRER: ARROYO INSISTS ON BAIL IN PCSO PLUNDER CASE
In a 11-page "reply to prosecution's opposition (to bail petition)" filed by lead counsel Modesto Ticman and the Gilera & Ticman Law Firm on Tuesday, the defense told the anti-graft court's First Division hearing the plunder charge against Arroyo that it erred in denying her bail. He said Aleta Tolentino herself admitted on cross examination that prior to her appointment by the President, she was never an employee or officer of the PCSO. As such, she certainly had no personal knowledge of the PCSO's Confidential and Intelligence Funds (CIF) transactions in 2008, 2009 and the first half of 2010, he said.
