NBI Special Action Unit arrests a woman who stole the identity of socialite Ginger King Villavicencio, and attempted to sell a family-owned building to the owners of Wilcon Builders Corp. The suspect attempted to collect a P200M payment in an entrapment operation. | @Nikobaua
According to Wilcon Builders they checked all the documents presented by the suspect and did not find any flaws, which convinced them to make a down payment of P20M. | via @Nikobaua
They were warned about the scam after they fully disclosed to other brokers about their intent to buy the property. The NBI immediately set an entrapment operation after they verified that she was not the real Ginger King Villavicencio. | via @Nikobaua
The NBI is also investigating the bank used by the suspects. They were able to open and use a corporate account using the name of Ginger King Villavicencio and the company she represents. | via @Nikobaua

@mikenavallo Aquiatan said De Lima’s plea for inhibition is unfounded and her accusation that prosecution may be privy to judge’s habits “totally unfair” but decides to voluntarily desist from hearing the case as her “integrity and fairness might be seriously impugned.” | via @mikenavallo
