The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday said a female member of the Abu Sayyaf Group has been convicted by a Zamboanga City regional trial court after pleading guilty to violating Republic Act No. 10168, or the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012.
Found guilty as accessory in three counts of violations of RA 10168 was Norkisa Omar Asnalul who was sentenced to a prison term ranging from four months and one day up to one year, seven months and 10 days for each count.
Asnalul was also ordered to pay a fine of P100,000 for each count.
RTC Judge Shaldilyn B. Bangsaja ruled that that the jail term “shall be served successively, and the period of detention of the accused shall be given full credit.”
Asnalul entered into a plea bargaining concession with the prosecution and her plea was allowed by the trial court.
