Two airport security screeners and a wheelchair attendant have been charged before the Pasay City Fiscal Office with conspiring to extort money from a couple by planting a live bullet inside one of their bags at the Naia Terminal 1 last April 19 prior to their flight to the United States.
Spouses Salvacion and Esteban Cortabista accused screeners Ferdinand Morales and Fatti Dame Go of the Office of Transport Security and wheelchair attendant Niño Namba for violation of the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act; robbery with intimidation of a person and unjust vexation.
The Cortabistas through their lawyer Public Attorney’s Office chief Persida Rueda Acosta asked the Pasay City prosecutor to indict the three accused for allegedly committing those criminal acts.
