The Department of Justice today recommended the criminal prosecution of businessman Mariano Tanenglian, his wife and two children before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court.
Tanenglian is the brother of tycoon Lucio Tan.
In a 17-page resolution approved by Chief State Prosecutor Jovencito Zuno and the Department of Justice Task Force on Women and Children Protection accused Tanenglian, his wife Aleta and children Fayette and Maximillian of kidnapping, serious illegal detention, eight counts of child abuse and violations of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons law against their maid, Mary Jane Sollano.
Kidnapping and trafficking of persons are non-bailable crimes.
The task force also took note of a contract signed by respondent Mariano – which evidenced that complainant was employed as a housemaid – with intention to extract forced labor or involuntary servitude from her for five years without salary and under constant condition of harm and threat.
The DOJ also used as basis in filing the case in court the respective affidavits of Sollano’s father, who claimed that he has not seen his daughter since she left the province in 2004.
