The National Bureau of Investigation yesterday filed a complaint against the chairman and chief executive officer of a firm and four others for alleged large scale estafa and violation of the Securities Regulation Code (Republic Act 8799) before the Bacolod City Prosecutor's Office.
NBI Special Investigator III Aristedes Bañares said that recommended for prosecution was Jorge Obenita III, alias Josh, chairman and CEO of Juan Pinoy Marketing Ventures Inc., who was apprehended by the NBI after receiving marked money in an entrapment operation at the Island Spoon Restaurant at Lacson Street, Bacolod City, 9:40 p.m. Tuesday.
Obenita, of San Mateo, Rizal, was apprehended based on the complaints of five Bacolod residents, who claimed they were defrauded of P431,700.
