The Court of Appeals (CA) has affirmed the conviction of a former bank manager found guilty of money laundering in connection with the $81 million stolen by hackers from Bangladesh's central bank in 2016. In a 58-page ruling, the court's First Division dismissed the appeal of Maia Deguito, former branch manager at Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC), to reverse her conviction. The CA upheld the decision dated Jan. 10, 2019, and the resolution dated Sept. 20, 2019, of the Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 149 finding Deguito guilty of eight counts of violating Section 4 (f) of Republic Act No.
