DOJ dismisses complaint vs 2 suspects in money laundering scandal

QUEZON City, Philippines (Eagle News) — The Department of Justice has dismissed the complaint against casino junket operator Kim Wong and Weikang Xu for money-laundering, citing lack of probable cause due to insufficiency of evidence.

According to the DOJ, former branch manager of the Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) Jupiter Makati branch, Maia Santos-Deguito has failed to directly link Wong and Xu to the money- laundering activity.

In February 2016, Deguito and other RCBC personnel were tagged in the $81-million Bangladesh Bank heist.
