| Subject: Get the bitch: Court orders 3rd arrest of ex-Philippine president Thu Oct 04, 2012 3:33 am | |
| The Philippine anti-graft court on Thursday ordered the arrest of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in the third corruption investigation against her, this one accused her of misusing $8.8 million in state lottery funds during her last years in office.
Arroyo's lawyers questioned the charges during oral arguments, and the court said it will take a second look.
The former president, who is suffering from neck ailment, was detained about eight months in a government hospital in a separate election sabotage case before she posted bail in July. She has also posted bail in another case against her that stems from a botched overpriced deal with a Chinese telecommunications company.
