Quiboloy’s Hawaii church manager sentenced to 30 days in prison —report
The Hawaii church manager of Filipino pastor Apollo Quiboloy was sentenced to 30 days in prison on Monday for lying about a suitcase that contained hidden cash found in the pastor’s private jet back in 2018.
According to a report on Hawaii News Now, Felina Salinas, a U.S. citizen, attempted to board a private jet with Quiboloy in 2018 and told federal agents that the suitcase was hers. It turned out that the case hid more than $300,000.
Salinas was initially charged for smuggling the money, but was reduced after she pleaded guilty to making a false statement.
“She had no idea what was in that luggage. She had no idea there was money in there. So I mean it went from currency smuggling to giving a false statement,” Attorney Michael Green said in the report.
Aside from imprisonment, she was also slapped with a $500 fine.
