The Sandiganbayan Seventh Division has convicted two officials from the Philippine National Police (PNP) and a private individual after they pleaded guilty to a lesser offense instead of graft.

Police Colonels Elizabeth Acevedo Milanes and Digna Olivares-Ambas, together with E. Indiongco Diagnostic Laboratory proprietor Edgar Indiongco were sentenced to pay a fine of P20,000 each after being found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of violating four counts of Section 7 of R.A. 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials.

From November to December 2010, Milanes and Olivares-Ambas were accused of giving unwarranted benefit to Indiongco by allowing him to operate his private medical laboratory inside the office premises of the PNP Regional Health Service 3 in Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga and collect payments from applicants amounting to P1,868,050 without issuing corresponding receipts.

During a hearing held on November 21, all three accused manifested their intention to plead guilty to the lesser offense of breach of conduct. The prosecution was in full support of the plea bargaining agreement, even though it had long rested its case against the accused.
