Juday Pleads "Not Guilty" to Tax Evasion Charges

Actress Judy Ann Santos pleaded "not guilty" to charges of tax evasion before the Court of Tax Appeals this morning.

Santos arrived with his brother, actor Jeffrey and new lawyer Atty. Remigio Ancheta. Ancheta replaced Atty. Bonifacio Alentajan as counsel. Santos refused to state the reason why she replaced Alentajan.

She is facing a P2.7-million tax evasion charge after the Bureau of Internal Revenue discovered that she hid almost half of her more than P 16-million income in 2002. She only declared P 8-million.

"I just want this case to be finished," Santos said after her plea.
