He is a fugitive from justice because of the shabu case,&quot; sabi ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/05/08/23/ca-clears-bren-esports-owner-of-drug-smuggling-charges">CA clears Bren Esports owner of drug smuggling charges</a></li></ul>&quot;That company has been manufacturing fake receipts. It&#x27;s a very sophisticated operation but we are on top of it.

These are fake receipts being submitted to pass off as deductions. This is a violation of the National Internal Revenue Code and the Revised Penal Code,&quot; ayon sa kalihim.&quot;These are income tax payments made with the deductions. The deductions themselves are fake, fake supporting documents,&quot; dagdag niya.Tiniyak naman ni Remulla na iimbestigahan ang malalaking kompanya na naging kliyente ng Brenterprise International. Inaalam din kung sino sa mga opisyal o tauhan ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) na nagsilbi umanong contact ng mga ito.&quot;Hindi naman alam kung sino iyan, pero there is usually a BIR official that they can attribute this to. They have contacts. I don&#x27;t know if they are principals, accomplices, or accessories, but they have contacts who work with them,&quot; ayon sa kalihim.

Sinampahan na ng reklamo ang umano'y organized crime group na nasa likod ng ghost corporations na gumagamit ng mga pekeng resibo.
