‘Plea bargain deal by Quiboloy aide won’t affect cases’
The Philippine Star|October 13, 2024
The Department of Justice (DOJ) guaranteed that the criminal charges against Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Apollo Quiboloy in Philippine courts remain unstirred by the plea bargain agreement with US prosecutors of one of his former assistants, Marissa Dueñas.
By CHRISTINE BOTON

“Upon verifying with the US embassy, the US prosecutors and Quiboloy co-defendant Marissa Dueñas have reached an agreement in which she pleads guilty to conspiracy to defraud the US government and the prosecutor agrees to dismiss the other charges against her only,” DOJ Assistant Secretary Jose Dominic Clavano IV said on Friday.

The DOJ stressed that the plea deal made by Dueñas has no bearing on the ongoing cases against Quiboloy in Philippine courts.

Quiboloy is facing child abuse charges in a Quezon City court, as well as qualified human trafficking charges in Pasig City.
