Meanwhile, the ex-wife of Koko Pimentel was arrested earlier due to estafa.

Here are the mugshots of Jewel Lobaton courtesy of Fashion Pulis:

Estafa is the legal term for the criminal offense of swindling. It is when someone represents themselves as someone else or claims to be able to do things they cannot, causing the victim to suffer damages.

Damages may refer to monetary, personal property, or valuables lost as a result of the deception. These are the elements that must be present, in addition to fraud, for a case to be classified as estafa.

It is important to distinguish estafa from theft. The offender has taken material possession of a property through theft. Estafa means that the offender has taken both material and legal possession of a property through a contract or agreement.

Koko Pimentel has yet to release any statement regarding the case of his ex-wife.
