THE government can still go after the alleged ill-gotten wealth of retired generals Carlos Garcia and Celso Ligot by filing tax fraud cases against them, Sen. Franklin Drilon said yesterday.
Drilon deplored the apparent neglect committed by government prosecutors in filing graft charges against Garcia, who was originally accused of plunder but later allowed by the Ombudsman to enter into a plea bargain agreement.
