Metro Manila, Philippines – The Court of Appeals (CA) has issued a 20-day freeze order on the assets and properties of Apollo Quiboloy, the wanted religious leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC).
In a 48-page document released Aug. 6, the CA Special Third Division granted the petition of the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) to freeze Quiboloy’s bank accounts and properties.
Assets that were frozen include 10 bank accounts named under Apollo Carreon Quiboloy, 47 bank accounts of the KOJC, seven real properties and five motor vehicles under Quiboloy, 16 real properties and 16 motor vehicles under KOJC, and Quiboloy’s media company Sonshine Media Network International.
According to the AMLC probe, Quiboloy had 330 “substantial” financial transactions from Dec. 12, 2006 to Feb. 7, 2022. There were also “several huge” cash deposits transferred to the Quiboloy’s bank accounts from 2007 to 2018.
“These funds appear to be directly sourced from the unlawful activities of Quiboloy, his cohorts and his church,” the investigation noted.
Aside from Quiboloy, the court also froze the assets of nine others. Quiboloy is facing sexual and child abuse charges. Police have yet to locate and arrest him.
