Metro Manila, Philippines – The court has extended the freeze order on the assets and properties of fugitive Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, religious leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), until early next year.
In a message to NewsWatch Plus on Friday, Aug. 30, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) said the Court of Appeals (CA) released a resolution to this effect on Aug. 20.
“[T]he Court of Appeals extended the Freeze Order for 6 months from date of issuance or until 6 February 2025. The details are the same with the original FO (freeze order) issued by the CA,” it said.
The CA initially issued a 20-day freeze order on Quiboloy’s assets and properties on Aug. 6, granting the petition of AMLC.
The frozen assets include 10 bank accounts under the name of 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.
AMLC flagged Quiboloy’s financial transactions as the “funds appear to be directly sourced from the unlawful activities of Quiboloy, his cohorts and his church.”
Quiboloy is facing child and sexual abuse cases. The police are scouring the KOJC compound in Davao City to arrest him.
