I have a friend who recently came back from working abroad. He finished his contract in his previous company and now they are looking after him because they are telling he uses the money of the office and receipts etc. I would like to know if this kind of issue is punishable by our Philippine law if this happened in other country? His company is also bothering him for creating fake fb profile of him to track lawsuit him but before this happen he was able to turn over all his work and he was given exit permit to leave the country. He is worried because he is receiving threats and his privacy is at stake due to fake fb profile. Appreciate who can give us advice. Thanks
Are company criminal accusations that happened in foreign country punishable in the Philippines?

Your friend finished his contract. He was given an exit permit and he finished his clearance. And then, after he left the company and left the employer, they are running after him for having taken money?
Have they filed a case against him in that country? Kasi, I don't even know what country this is. If they had enough evidence to file a case against him, they would have filed a case a long time ago.
Sa Pilipinas kasi, they can only file a criminal case against him here if he committed the theft or embezzlement here. According to your story, his employer is abroad, so, the "theft" or "embezzlement" happened abroad. Hindi puedeng magfile ng kaso ang employer niya dito sa Pilipinas laban sa kanya.
May balak ba siyang bumalik doon sa bansang iyon? Dapat siguro, hindi na lang siya bumalik doon kung natatakot siya. Ano ba iyang employer niya, Mafia? Triad? Yakuza? Bakit takot na takot siya? Tell your friend to talk to a lawyer.

Hi Atty,
Yes natapos na yung contract nya sa qatar and nabigyan po sya ng exit permit and clearance to go back to philippines. Then nakapag turn over sya on time. Now, tinatakot sya ng filipina supervisor nya na ipapahanap daw sya sa government officials like nbi dahil sa nangyari na hindi naman clear sa kanya bakit ganun ang acussations the fact na nakapag turn over sya ng maayos. Wala din case or complaint na na file sa kanya bago at pagkaalis nya dun sa bansa na yun. Ngayon tinatakot sya by usinh fake fb profile at picture pa nya ang nilagay sa fb na ginawa ng supervisor nya. Thank you atty.
