Calata Corp. filed syndicated estafa and other criminal, civil and administrative charges against the Galicia family and Patienthill Cold and Dry Storage Corp. for alleged anomalies and suspicious transactions.

Calata corporate secretary Jose Marie Fabella said the company sought assistance from the National Bureau of Investigation, the Securities and Exchange Commission and all other government agencies to pursue the charges.

Fabella added the listed agriculture company coordinated with the Department of Justice and Bureau of Immigration for the issuance of a hold departure order and or a lookout bulletin against the Galicia family and all officers of Patienthill.

“Calata Corporation as a listed company does not and shall never tolerate any illegal acts and that it shall not hesitate to institute strong legal action against those responsible in order to protect and vindicate its right and safeguard the interest of the investing public as well,” Calata said.

Meanwhile, in a separate disclosure to the stock exchange, Catala said it received a copy of a civil case filed by the Galicia group seeking the annulment of the title of a property, recovery of possession and payment of damages.

“We cannot disclose the details yet since it might jeopardize the investigation,” Fabella said.

Calata and the Galicia family earlier this year formed a joint venture called Brookfields Meat Inc., with Calata owning 51 percent of the equity.

Calata took full control and possession of the meat fabrication plant of BMI from the Galicia family.

A team is currently overseeing BMI’s operations to ensure the company’s growth.

“The agreement will be that the company will fund the nationwide operations of Brookfields Meat Inc. The profit sharing scheme will be based on the equity owned which is 51 percent for Calata Corp. and 49 percent for the Galicia Group. Both parties will co-manage the operations,” Fabella said.

The Galicia Group is the sole and exclusive supplier of pork, beef and chicken meat to the SM Supermarkets for more than 10 years. It is also a major supplier of the Puregold Supermarkets.

Fabella said Calata would integrate its business model by including the meat business into its existing revenue streams, such as feeds distribution business and hog breeding.
