In 173-page decision, Sandiganbayan Fourth Division found then Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) directors Elmer Soneja, Venancio Santidad, Ildefonso Patdu Jr., Rebecca Cacatian and legal officer Geronimo Quintos guilty of violating Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
Businessman Domingo Samuel Jonathan Ng of West Island Beverages Distributor was also convicted.
Anti-graft court sentenced them to maximum of 10 years in prison and perpetually disqualified them from public office.
Former Iloilo representative Judy Syjuco entered into plea bargain and pleaded guilty to defrauding public treasury.
Syjuco deposited P5.9 million to Sandiganbayan and paid fine of P16,000. Her bail was returned and the hold departure order against her was lifted.
Former DOTC official Purificacion Desiderio Jr. and former storekeeper Antonio Cruz were acquitted. Warrant has been issued for arrest of former DOTC assistant secretary Domingo Reyes.
