The Department of Justice (DOJ) named the first convict under the anti-terrorism financing law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA certain Angeline Magdua was convicted for 55 counts of violation of Section 7 of the law, which penalizes being an accessory to the crime of terrorist financing,\u201d the agency said in a statement on Monday, referring to the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the DOJ, Magdua was one of two cashiers of religious group Rural Missionaries of the Philippines (RMP)-Northern Mindanao Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said the group obtained donations from foreign groups to finance the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citing Emilio Gabales, one of the accused, the DOJ said Magdua was responsible for distributing funds to communist rebels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Jan. 9, leaders from human rights group Karapatan, women\u2019s group Gabriela, and RMP were cleared after government lawyers failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt the charges against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the law, those convicted of financing terrorism will serve time from 20 years up to 40 years and a fine of up to \u20b11 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
