Mark B. Jimenez was deeply involved in the Erap controversy when he was extradited to the US to face initial charges of a 47-count tax evasion and election fraud. He created a Uruguayan company, concocted documents, and directed people to lie for him to help him launder his money between US and Philippines. He also made illegal contributions to various candidates for federal office by creating false information to be submitted to the Federal Election Committee.
In 2003, he ended up pleading guilty to these charges and spent close to two years in prison and was deported back after serving his sentence. Here’s a character who made most of his billions in the US but found it necessary to cheat Uncle Sam with about 5 million dollar worth of taxes. He also tried to buy his way into US politics, but got caught. It is indeed a travesty that he is finding his way back into Philippines politics. That Mr. Villar, Mr. Fernandez, and Ms. Arenas are so beguiled by his billions that they cannot see this man for what he is, a criminal.
