Misuari's conviction for graft upheld
The Philippine Star|September 20, 2024
The Sandiganbayan has upheld the conviction of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) chairman Nur Misuari in connection with the anomalous procurement of P77.26-million information technology equipment when he was governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

In a 24-page resolution promulgated on Tuesday, the anti-graft court's Third Division denied Misuari's appeal, which sought the reversal of the ruling finding him guilty of two counts of violation of Republic Act (RA) 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

The court also denied the motions for reconsideration filed by Misuari's six coaccused - former ARMM education chief Leovigilda Cinches, accountants Pangalian Maniri and Alladin Usi, supply officer Sittie Aisa Usman, former ARMM resident auditor Nader Macagaan and private supplier Cristeta Ramirez of CPR Publishing.

The Third Division said it found no compelling reason in the defendants' motions that could warrant the reversal of the ruling.
