The judge who sparked nuisance raids on Philippines-based online gambling operators, which include Bodog Asia, has been suspended without pay for two years.

Karma finally caught up with Judge Zaldy Docena as the Supreme Court of the Philippines, in a 10-4-1 vote, ruled in favor of suspending him without pay for gross neglect of duty in the mismanagement of search warrant applications.

He was supposed to be dismissed from service. But the justices of the Supreme Court took Docena’s 30 years of government service as a mitigating factor. Regardless, Docena has been warned that he will face more severe punishment should be repeat his offenses upon his return to the bench.

Docena was the judge who issued the warrants that led to the raids on the Manila offices of a company providing support services to Philippines-licensed Bodog Asia in November 2013. The Court of Appeals later ruled that the raids were illegal, due to the fraudulent affidavits filed by former Bodog Asia exec Jan Robert Gustaffson and his accomplices.

This is justice and karma at work. But Metro Manila prosecutors aren’t yet done with Gustaffson and his gang. Certainly, the long arm of justice will soon snatch them up and lock them behind bars.
