THE C<\/strong>ourt of Appeals (CA) has issued a freeze order on assets of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) and its officers led by Pastor Apollo Carreon Quiboloy.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The CA’s Special 3rd Division\u2019s August 6 notice covered 10 bank accounts, seven real properties, five vehicles, and one aircraft owned by Quiboloy.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also included in the order are the 47 bank accounts, 16 real properties, and 16 vehicles of the KOJC, and 17 bank accounts, five real properties, and 26 vehicles of Swara Sug Media Corporation, which operates the religious group\u2019s media arm, Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI).<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the CA, it found reasonable ground to believe that Quiboloy\u2019s money and properties are \u201clinked to unlawful activities and predicate crimes\u201d not only for qualified human trafficking, sexual and child abuse and sex trafficking of children but also fraud, conspiracy, marriage fraud, smuggling, and money laundering.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIn order to avoid the possibility of the funds in the subject bank accounts and\/or properties from being withdrawn, removed, transferred, concealed or placed beyond the reach of law enforcers, this Court finds it appropriate and judicious to issue a 20-day freeze order as prayed for by petitioner over said bank accounts, including all other related or materially-linked accounts, and the real and personal properties enumerated in the ex-parte petition,\u201d the CA said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The decision was signed by Associate Justice Gabriel Robeniol.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Davao Region police director Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III said based on their intelligence monitoring, Quiboloy is still in the KOJC property in Davao City.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Torre said the information showed that Quiboloy is still in the country even before a P10-million reward was offered for the arrest of the KOJC leader.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The official said they are ensuring that the compound is tightly guarded to prevent the fugitive\u2019s escape.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He added they are carefully planning on how to arrest Quiboloy without violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, police are also monitoring the KOJC\u2019s air assets, which includes two airplanes and four helicopters.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE Court of Appeals (CA) has issued a freeze order on assets of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) and its officers led by Pastor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7721"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7721"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7723,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7721\/revisions\/7723"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
