KINASUHAN ng libel at false testimony ng presidente ng Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) na si Lorenzo Tan si dating RCBC Jupiter branch manager Maia Deguito at ang abogado nitong si Ferdinand Topacio.
Sa kanyang reklamo, sinabi ni Tan na ang mga alegasyon sa kanya ay pawang haka-haka dahil wala umano siyang kinalaman sa $81 milyon na money laundering scam.
Ani Tan,
“With deliberate intent, (Deguito and Topacio) conjured together to make public imputations of money laundering offenses and dishonorable conduct against him, despite the blatant admission of Deguito that she directly handled the money laundering transactions,” aniya.
“All of these (accusations) were products of mere assumptions made by respondent (Deguito) that I oversaw and thus authorized the questioned transactions. Her imagination had simply gone beyond what was real or actual, and is farthest from the truth,” dagdag ni Tan.
Aniya, inililigtas lamang ni Deguito ang sarili sa mga akusasyon at kaso na isinsampa sa kanya.
“To clear my name, I have taken a voluntary leave just to avoid any perception of undue influence on my part in the on-going internal investigation by RCBC on the matter…Indeed, the accusations by Deguito against me had demeaned me,” dagdag niya.
Kamakailan ag knasuhan ng RCBC si Deguito at kay senior customer relationship officer Angela Torres ng falsification of commercial documents.
