MANILA, Philippines — An alleged accomplice of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KoJC) Pastor Apollo Quiboloy entered into a plea agreement with the US attorney’s office, according to a post by the US Department of Justice on its website on Wednesday (local time).
Marissa Duenas, the human resources manager for the California branch of the KoJC agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges for defrauding the United States, in exchange for a reduced sentence.
As part of the agreement, federal prosecutors will drop the remaining charges against Duenas, which were tied to her supposed role in a larger investigation into KoJC’s alleged labor trafficking activities.
Quiboloy, who is in hiding, filed his certificate of candidacy (CoC) for senator.
