Sandigan to start forwarding records of Imelda Marcos’ graft case to SC

The Sandiganbayan has started the process of forwarding records in the graft case of Ilocos Norte Representative Imelda Marcos to the Supreme Court, where she will challenge her conviction for allegedly creating Swiss foundations to benefit her family.

The Fifth Division confirmed on Tuesday that Marcos’ notice of appeal has been “given due course.”

It said the records are being photocopied for the Sandiganbayan archives, but the original copies will be immediately transmitted to the SC upon completion.
