00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04Faced with a new complaint,
00:08Mayor Alice Goh was dismissed
00:10for taking 87 counts of money laundering against her.
00:16The brothers of the former mayor,
00:19as well as other business partners, were also accused of the complaint.
00:21The freeze order was also extended to the bank accounts
00:24and assets of the Goh family and those connected to them.
00:29Salima Refran was on the scene.
00:34The complaint filed against Mayor Alice Goh
00:36and 35 other business partners
00:39for 87 counts of money laundering
00:41was dismissed.
00:43As a support for the case,
00:45the Anti-Money Laundering Council,
00:48Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
00:51and the National Bureau of Investigation
00:53submitted a total of P7 billion
00:57from the scam operations of Pogo,
00:59the Lucky South 99,
01:01to PORAC Pampanga,
01:02which went to the companies of Goh
01:05and was used to build the Balfou compound
01:08and Hongsheng Gaming, which became Zunyu One Technology,
01:12the Pogongs of Raid,
01:13which were connected to criminal activities.
01:16Based on our findings,
01:17she is the principal in the money laundering
01:20money laundering committee in this case.
01:22Alice Goh was the one who financed
01:26the expenses of these Pogos, ma'am.
01:30So that's where the money laundering came from.
01:32There is no other way to get money
01:38other than through a scam operation.
01:40Where did the money from Balfou come from?
01:42Partly from Lucky South 99,
01:44partly from Alice Goh's accounts
01:46that could not be explained where it came from.
01:49Aside from the dismissed Mayor Goh,
01:51along with the complaints of his siblings,
01:53Sheila and Cmet,
01:54their parents,
01:56and Cassandra Leong,
01:57were also laughed at by Lucky South 99.
02:00Foreign business partners of Goh,
02:03incorporators, officers,
02:05and management of Balfou Land,
02:06and Pogos,
02:08as well as Goh's business QJJ Farms
02:11and QC Genetics, were also affected by the complaint.
02:12Based on the AMLC's investigation,
02:15the corporations of the Goh family
02:18are involved in money laundering.
02:20Alice Goh cannot do this alone.
02:23The freeze order was extended for six months
02:25to Goh's bank accounts and assets,
02:28his family,
02:29and other individuals connected to them.
02:31In monitoring of authorities abroad,
02:34Alice Goh still visited Jakarta, Indonesia.
02:37There are sightings.
02:38I saw pictures from CCTV
02:42that she was seen in a village
02:45or a place in Jakarta.
02:50We are still trying to get Alice Goh's statement.
02:54This is an additional complaint
02:55to Goh's legal opponents
02:58here in the Department of Justice.
02:59She is also facing a complaint
03:01for qualified human trafficking
