QUEZON CITY, Philippines – The Sandiganbayan Fifth Division has ordered the issuance of a warrant of arrest against former first lady and now Ilocos Norte Congresswoman Imelda Marcos.

Last Friday, Marcos was found guilty of seven counts of graft over the creation of Swiss accounts while she was still in office.

The former first lady, however, failed to attend the promulgation of the decision.

The anti-graft court also forfeited her bail and required her to explain within thirty days why no judgment on the bond should be issued. — UNTV News & Rescue
