MANILA - The Sandiganbayan 6th Division has placed Limay, Bataan Mayor Nelson David on 90-day preventive suspension as his graft case involving the irregular appraisal of lots owned by his sons goes t

o trial.

The court noted that preventive suspensions of sitting officials are mandatory under Republic Act No. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, as well as Supreme Court decisions. The case of David stemmed from the “extraordinary” increase in the market value of lots owned by his sons Richie Jayson and Christian Ryan and eventually acquired by the municipality at the price of P10.180 million in 2002.

David stressed that before winning the 2019 elections, he has not been the mayor of Limay for almost a decade, which makes it impossible for him to influence witnesses nor tamper documentary evidence.
