Updated

THE Supreme Court ordered the estate of the late businessman Herminio Disini to pay the government P1.1 billion in damages in connection with his role in the awarding of the $2.2-billion Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) project to Westinghouse Electrical Corp.

In a unanimous decision, the court held Disini liable for exerting undue influence in the awarding of the BNPP deal by taking advantage of his close association with former president Ferdinand Marcos.
