Inaresto ng mga otoridad si dating Foreign Affairs Sec. Perfecto Yasay.
Kay kaugnayan ang kaso sa apat na kasong criminal kaugnay sa kanyang pagiging opisyal nang nagsarang Banco Filipino.
Base sa kasong isinampa ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas noong taong 2011, sangkot umano si Yasay sa “falsification, grant of illegal loans, and major violations of banking laws” bilang isa sa mga board member ng nasabing bangko.
Sa kanyang Facebook account ay mariing itinanggi ni Yasay ang mga akusasyon.
Isa umano uri ng harassment ang ginawang paghuli sa kanya ng mga tauhan ng Manila Police District base sa utos ng isang hukom ng Manila Regional Trial Court.
“To all my friends, allow me to inform you that I am now being arrested from my house by police officers of Manila on the basis of a warrant of arrest issued by the RTC of Manila Branch 10 for criminal charges that were alleged committed by officials of Banco Filipino from 2003 to 2006, clearly appearing on the face of the Information filed by the prosecutor, when in truth and in fact I joined the Bank only in 2009. I am not posting bail until i am brought before the judge where I will question this abuse of process and travesty of justice”, ayon sa pahayag ni Yasay.
