Senate panels recommend graft raps vs Faeldon over GCTA scandal

FOUR Senate committees have recommended the filing of graft charges against sacked Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief Nicanor Faeldon for his alleged involvement in the good conduct time allowance (GCTA) scandal.

In a 34-page report, the Senate committees on justice, constitutional amendments, blue ribbon, and finance accused Faeldon of wrongdoing when he did not follow the procedures of Department [of Justice] Order (DO) 953 in releasing convicts under the GCTA scheme, particularly convicted rapist-killer former Calauan, Laguna mayor Antonio Sanchez.
