BORACAY — A businesswoman based in this resort island is confident that she can hurdle the string of estafa charges filed against her.
Complainants who filed the charges before the Regional Trial Court in Kalibo, Aklan conspired due to greed, alleged Dolores Khanna, also known as Dolly, over a telephone interview.
She was referring to complainants Lawyers Lucas Licerio and Gina Garcia-Aguirre.
Canadian nationals Peter Eckert, Peter Tayler-Anderson, and couple Spencer and Evelyn Anderson also filed separate charges against Khanna.
Khanna described the charges against her as “pure harassment.”
"Prior to their filing of cases, I already took the initiative of bringing the spouses Anderson and other parties to a barangay meeting to help explain what is going with the land dispute between Licerio and the Khannas,” said Khanna.
“I also asked the parties to refrain giving libelous and slanderous remarks and to be patient and help me fight Licerio over a fraud case in court,” she said.
Despite the meeting, the Canadian nationals filed the cases.
Khanna consequently filed disbarment and libel charges against Licerio and Garcia.
“Because of the cases I filed, Licerio’s group illegally took over my cliff property in Bolabog Beach here,” said Khanna.
“My reputation was not damaged with the case,” she said.
Khanna is currently in Makati City. She has been receiving death threats while staying here.
Her lawyers also asked her not to attend court hearings.
