DOJ: Cashier convicted of 55 counts of being an accomplice in terrorist financing

From GMA News Online (Mar 27, 2023): DOJ: Cashier convicted of 55 counts of being an accomplice in terrorist financing

A cashier has been convicted for 55 counts of violating the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012, the Department of Justice announced on Monday.

In a statement, the DOJ said Angeline Magdua was convicted on March 16 of being an accessory to the crime of terrorist financing.

Magdua is one of two cashiers of the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines in the Northern Mindanao Region.

The DOJ said the organization obtained donations to finance the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army.


The CPP-NPA, the DOJ said, has been designated as a terrorist organization by the US Department of State, the European Union, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

The DOJ said gave credit to the prosecutors who handled the case, the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency, the NICA office in Region 10, the PNP in Region 10, and the Anti-Money Laundering Council.
