World IN BRIEF : PHILIPPINES : Imelda Marcos Faces New Charges
The Philippine government filed new criminal charges against Imelda Marcos, accusing her of spiriting $1 million out of the country when she and her late husband fled to Hawaii in 1986.

The latest charges allege that Mrs. Marcos and her three children smuggled out 22 crates of Philippine currency.
