The Office of the Ombudsman files criminal charges before the Sandiganbayan over an alleged right-of-way scam linked to a road project in General Santos City. The case involves P491.9 million in alleged irregularities connected to payments, and it targets DPWH officials alongside other individuals depending on the filing.
Across the reports, the Ombudsman action centres on malversation and graft allegations. One outlet says charges are filed against six DPWH Region XII personnel; another adds that the filing also includes former DPWH executives and other DPWH staff, as well as private individuals. A third report describes a larger number of criminal counts filed against current and former DPWH personnel, while still pointing to the same total alleged right-of-way amount.
Overall, the coverage agrees that the Ombudsman is bringing the matter to the Sandiganbayan and ties it to the General Santos City right-of-way payments for a road project worth P491.9 million. The main differences lie in who is named and how many charges are described.
