Misuari posts bail for graft, malversation raps

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 20): Misuari posts bail for graft, malversation raps

Executive Judge Emmanuel Carpio issued the release order of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) Chieftain Nur Misuari after posting bail on Tuesday in connection to the graft and malversation charges before the Sandiganbayan.

Misuari is facing two counts of graft and two counts of malversation for the alleged anomalous purchase of education materials when he was the governor of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao in 2000.

Misuari reportedly spent P115 million for educational materials, but were not delivered to intended recipients.

The anti-graft court has ordered police authorities to arrest Misuari early this month. It has set the bail at PhP200,000 to PhP460,000 each for malversation through falsification charges, and PhP30,000 each for graft.

Misuari posted a cash bond of P460,000.
Misuari is in Davao City and met with President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday night at the Matina Enclaves.
