A Philippine court has allowed dismissed Mayor Alice Guo to attend Monday’s Senate hearing about alleged illegal activities linked to China-centric online casinos, days after she was arrested in Indonesia, the local media reported.
A Tarlac regional trial court on Friday granted the Senate’s request to allow Guo to be at the hearing, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Guo is currently held at the national police headquarters after she was arrested on two counts of graft on Thursday, the same day the Indonesian police informed Philippine authorities that they had captured her.
