The representative of Czech Republic to the Philippines is ready to spit everything out regarding the extortion accusations against Presidential sister Ballsy Aquino-Cruz and Presidential brother-in-law Eldon Cruz to a huge Czech company.

Based on the source who wished not to be named, Ambassador Josef Rychtar arranged the meeting between the officials of the Inekon Company and former Department of Transportation and Communications Secretary during the late President Corazon Aquino’s term, Pete Prado, Cruz and Steve Psinakis who is connected to the Lopezes, owner of ABS-CBN.

The meeting is about the company’s interest on investing in the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 project and the Czech representative talked to DOTC undersecretary Cathy Gonzales and Undersec. Jose Lotilla regarding the public bidding of the MRT 3 expansion project.

Rumor has it that Ballsy Aquino is a close friend of Philippine ambassador to Czech Republic Evelyn Austria-Garcia.

Prior to this, reports spread quickly that Ballsy asked Inekon for an advance payment from Two to 20 Million dollars so it can enter as the supplier of coach of trains.

Officials from the Inekon Company slammed the advance payment that is being asked by the Cruzes, Prado and Psinakis.

Meanwhile, President Benigno Aquino III shrugged off the accusations against her sister, saying that all along he has been informed of the allegations but does not believe in them.

According to Deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte, Aquino doesn’t want to waste his time over some nonsense allegations against her sister and her sister’s husband.

Valte added that Balsy doesn’t involve herself on government transactions. (Reggie Espiritu)
