Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr. who is accused of plunder and graft has surrendered to the Sandiganbayan Friday morning June 20, 2014. The graft charges are from the multibillion-peso pork barrel scam.
The court has found probable cause for his indictment in a 10 billion-peso ($228 million) scandal over discretionary funds given to congress for development projects. Two other opposition senators namely Juan Ponce Enrile and Jinggoy Estrada, have also been indicated and barred from leaving the country.
Revilla turned himself in once the news came out that the warrant for his arrest had been signed by Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Efren de la Cruz.
