Sotto is not the first senator linked to the allegedly irregular use of PDAF by Innsbruck International Trading, which could no longer be located in its addresses.
Previous reports said Innsbruck received from Sen. Lito Lapid P20 million from his PDAF for garbage deodorizer that supposedly went to three towns in Rizal and a town in Quezon province.
However, the pest control company that supplied the chemical mixture for an antidengue program no longer operated from the business address it gave even before it entered into contracts with at least four local government units (LGUs).
Each of the LGUs—Teresa, Baras and Pililia in Rizal and Polillo in Quezon—allegedly got P5 million each from Lapid’s PDAF.
Apart from Sotto and Lapid, Senators Ramon Revilla Jr., Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Gregorio Honasan II also figured in the news after their PDAF were allegedly pocketed by an intricate network of nongovernment organizations instead of being used for government projects
