The Sandiganbayan has dismissed an appeal by Mariano Tanenglian for the reopening of the illegal wealth case against businessman and brother Lucio C. Tan.
In a five-page resolution, the court's fifth division dismissed the motion for reconsideration filed by Mariano Tanenglian for lack of merit.
Mr. Tanenglian has also asked the court to order the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) to grant him immunity in case he testifies against his brother.
The court originally quashed the appeal last Feb. 12. The court then ruled that it would be unreasonable for Mr. Mariano Tanenglian to file for the reopening of the case since he is also one of the defendants.
