Court Orders Arrest of Imelda Marcos
From Times Wire Reports
The Philippines’ main anti-graft court issued an arrest warrant today for former first lady Imelda Marcos on four counts of corruption.
The court said the warrant for the flamboyant 72-year-old widow of late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos was expected to be served later in the day. She would have to go to court for fingerprinting, then could be released on $2,400 bail.
The charges stem from alleged ill-gotten gains during her time as minister of human settlements in the 1970s, according to court documents.
