Actress-TV host Kim Chiu’s sister, Lakambini “Lakam” Chiu, is placed under police custody after her arrest on Sunday, Sept. 20, over a qualified theft case. Police say the case involves multiple counts of theft filed against her.
The dispute traces back to a complaint Kim filed with the Office of the City Prosecutor of Quezon City in December, alleging “serious financial discrepancies” tied to corporate funds connected to their handbag business, involving more than P44 million. Different outlets provide similar core details: the arrest, the qualified theft charges, and the complaint that prompted the case, while emphasizing that the matter is currently at the investigation and custody stage rather than a final court finding.
