Caretaker Charged for Multiple Crimes after Attempting to Sell an OFW’s Real Estate Property
One caretaker had been arrested by authorities after trying to sell the house and lot of an Overseas Filipino worker from Pampanga.
According to the statement of the Property Owner named Marita Esseler, it was already arranged that she will come back to the Philippines in January next year but her plans were canceled because of the incident. She went home to the Philippines at an earlier date because of hearing news that the caretaker of her house and lot had been attempting to sell it.
She had bought the real estate property last year in Magalang, Pampanga.
Esseler said that she was being asked frequently by her property’s caretaker for money. She notice something weird when Esseler was receiving fewer receipts from the caretaker regardless of the fact that she had been sending money multiple times.
With the help of the police, the attempt of the caretaker to sell the house and lot of Esseler was halted. It was supposed to be illegally sold by the caretaker for five million pesos on November 21, 2019.
According to Police Captain Leopoldo Cajipe, after the caretaker and his buyer had closed the deal, his team of police had entered the premises upon which revealed falsified documents and the marked money.
Fake documents including the fake title of the land and a fake special power of attorney (with falsified signatures) were confiscated by the police. Later on, it was discovered that the caretaker had also pawned the OFWs vehicle.
According to the police, the suspect is presumed to have been addicted to gambling evidenced by the bingo receipts found in the possession of the caretaker.
The caretaker will be charged with Falsification of Public Document and a violation of the RA 9105 or the Art of Forgery Act of 2001.
