US Court slaps $353M Contempt Judgment on Bongbong, Imelda Marcos

Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., and his mother, Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos, have kept mum on a record $353.6 million contempt judgment handed down by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit against them, reports Inquirer.net. It's the largest ever award for a contempt case — for violating a US court order not to dissipate their assets, which have been earmarked as compensation for victims of the martial law imposed by Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in the 1970s.
