CA extends freeze on Aman accounts
December 3, 2012 | 5:15pm
MANILA, Philippines - The Court of Appeals (CA) has extended the 20-day freeze order it issued on bank assets of the Aman Futures Group Phils. Inc.
In open court, the fourth division of the appellate court granted the motion of the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), represented by
the office of the solicitor general, for extension of the freeze order issued last November 20 that was supposed to expire on December 10.
Associate Justices Ramon Garcia, Amelita Tolentino and Danton Bueser unanimously approved the motion.
The AMLC sought the extension to prevent Aman head Manuel Amalilio, who is hiding in Malaysia, from getting amounts from the 25 bank accounts linked to the controversial trading firm that allegedly duped P2 billion from some 15,000 people in Visayas and Mindanao.
In the same hearing this afternoon, the banks submitted to the CA reports on the status of the bank accounts covered by the order. The documents, however, were not made available to the media who covered the proceeding.
