MANILA -- The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday filed criminal charges before the Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court (MTC) against lawyer Homobono Adaza and four others for an alleged attempt to extort US$4 million from a Japanese investor to finance fresh plans to overthrow the Arroyo administration.
In a resolution, Senior State Prosecutor Emmanuel Velasco found probable cause to indict Adaza and co-accused Colonels Oscarlito Mapalo, Ernie Amboy, Cesar dela Peña, and Rafael Cardeno for proposing to commit coup d'etat, obstruction of justice, and harboring a fugitive.
