[Title] => Filing of criminal raps vs Glasgow owners pushed
[Summary] => The Pasig Prosecutors Office has recommended the criminal prosecution of the owners and directors of Glasgow Credit and Collection Services Inc. for having allegedly committed large-scale estafa.
The order was signed by Pasig Prosecutor Fernando H. Dumpit.
In the order, Dumpit said: "Based on the evidence adduced, there exists a sufficient ground to engender a well-founded belief that crime of large-scale estafa in violation of Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code, has been committed and respondents are probably guilty thereof and should be held for trial."
