The Sandiganbayan First Division has issued an arrest warrant against Robin Padilla’s brother, former Camarines Norte Governor Casimiro “Roy” Padilla Jr., who has been convicted in failing to return a gun issued to him by police in 1992.
The tribunal issued the arrest warrant last October 12 against the former governor after being informed that he remains visible in Camarines Norte and has even publicly pronounced that he is running as congressman.
Padilla was found guilty of malversation of public property by the graft court in a decision dated November 27, 2012 and was sentenced to four years and two months in prison as well as banned from holding any public position.
After his motion for reconsideration was denied, Padillas’s filed a petition before the Supreme Court which eventually denied it.
