Top court clears Arroyo of plunder
The Philippine Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a plunder case against former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and ordered her freed immediately after nearly five years of hospital detention. Arroyo, 69, finished her tumultuous nine-year term in 2010 but was arrested the following year on an election fraud charge, for which she was allowed to post bail.
