GMA cleared in fertilizer fund scam

The Office of the Ombudsman has dismissed for lack of proof a fourth graft complaint against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, this time in connection with the P728-million fertilizer fund scam.

Malacañang welcomed the decision, saying “we respect the findings of the Office of the Ombudsman, an independent constitutional body, which has the authority to decide on such cases filed before it,”
