CEBU CITY-A criminal case has been filed against a high-ranking officer of the Bureau of Internal Revenue who was ordered dismissed from service for accumulating millions of pesos in unexplained wealth.

The Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas filed charges of falsification of public document against Nieto Agad Racho before the Regional Trial Court for failing to declare in his Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Net worth (SALN) that he had P5.8 million in bank deposits.

The criminal charges were filed last Friday, three days after the OMB-Visayas released the order dismissing Racho from the service after he was found guilty of the administrative case of dishonesty.

Deputy Ombudsman for the Visayas Primo Miro also ordered Racho, head of the Special Investigation Division of BIR-Cebu City, to be permanently disqualified from holding public office.

If found guilty, Racho will face a jail term, ranging from six years and one day to 12 years, with a fine of not more than P5,000.

Racho's name figured in the three-part special report of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) on BIR officials leaving in luxury, that saw print in May.
