DOJ okays more raps vs. billionaire

The Department of Justice (DOJ) approved the filing of more cases against billionaire Mariano Tanenglian accused of maltreating a young housemaid.

Mariano Tanenglian, his wife Aleta, and children Maximillian and Fayette face charges of nine counts of violation of the Anti-Child Abuse Law and Anti-Trafficking of Persons, kidnapping, and serious illegal detention before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court.

The charged stemmed from Aljane Bacanto who claimed that she experienced different forms of abuse from the Tanenglian family while working for them for three years.

Earlier on, DOJ filed similar charges against Mariano Tanenglian and his family based on the complaint of another housemaid, Mary Jane Sollano.
