“The fate of the 15 other co-accused are in limbo because Magdua admitted guilt to terror financing filed against them by the government,” Musni said. The DOJ hailed what it referred to a “landmark decision.” For the UPLM, the claimed victory “reeks of hollowness and worse, desperation.” In a statement, UPLM said the court granted the plea bargain, declared her guilty on 55 counts of being an accessory to financing terrorism. The court also imposed an even lesser penalty for Magdua’s alleged voluntarily surrender to the authorities on December 4, 2022.
