Iaapela ng kampo ni Kris Aquino ang pagkakabasura ng Makati City court sa mga kaso ng qualified theft na isinampa ng social media influencer laban sa dating empleyadong si Nicko Falcis.
Naglabas ng press statement ang Fortun, Narvasa at Salazar Law Office ngayong Biyernes, ilang oras makaraang i-dismiss ng korte sa Makati City ang qualified theft na inihain ni Kris laban kay Nicko.
Kinukuwestiyon ng kampo ni Kris kung paanong nabasura ang nasabing kaso laban kay Nicko, kaugnay ng paggamit ng huli ng credit card ng KCAP Productions.

“Today, we were told that the Makati City Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the complaint of Ms Kris Aquino on qualified theft and violation of Republic Act No. 8484 against Nicko Falcis.
“We have to determine the basis for this information and how new sites, especially PEP.ph were able to get a copy of the resolution ahead of most everyone including Ms Aquino’s lawyers, despite consistent follow-up queries with the assigned investigating prosecutor just today.
“We are filing a motion for reconsideration of that resolution as soon as we receive our copy. However, we find this resolution irregular and legally flawed on the following grounds.
“1. The credit card in question was clearly owned by KCAP Productions, not respondent Mr. Nicko Falcis as it was plainly embossed on the card. Mr. Falcis’ name was simply put there to show he was authorized to use it for Mr. Aquino, but not for his personal transactions.
“2. Mr. Falcis even admitted in his messages to Ms. Aquino that what he did in using the card for personal transactions was wrong. He also tried to pay part of it by using his own check to cover the cost of his personal purchases. His admissions to wrongdoing were all submitted in evidence to the prosecutor who may have glossed over those.
“3. Mr. Falcis did not even appear and did not file any counter-affidavit to refute the charges against him. His alleged defenses in his ‘verified omnibus motion’ should not have even been considered by the city prosecutor.
“4. His defenses are only his own allegations, the truth of which should be proved during trial. The task of the prosecutor is to determine whether or not there is probable cause to charge him of these offenses.
“This case is only one of the many cases filed by Ms Aquino against Mr. Falcis, all of which are pending resolution before several jurisdictions. This resolution from the Makati prosecutor is not final and we will ensure that justice is served to Ms Aquino.”
