The feds are looking to drain the coffers of a crooked Philippine general’s son, just weeks after stripping him of his swanky Park Avenue apartment.
Timothy Mark Garcia, a former publicity intern for Marc Jacobs, stashed more than $200,000 of his dad’s dirty money in a Citibank account, prosecutors say.
A Manhattan federal court suit seeks to seize the dough on grounds that it was “derived from offenses against the Philippines.”
Timothy Garcia, 29, has been fighting extradition since he was charged in the Philippines in connection with the crimes of his father, ex-Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia, who plea-bargained to bribery after being charged with plundering more than $6 million while serving as comptroller of that country’s armed forces.
The fashion-conscious son infamously posed for photos wearing an electronic ankle bracelet during Fashion Week in 2009 after he was arrested by immigration agents.
In October, the younger Garcia surrendered ownership of a $765,000 condo in the Trump Park Avenue building after the feds said it was bought with his father’s loot.
Defense lawyer James Kousouros said Garcia would not challenge the latest suit because “he did not generate or claim ownership of the funds.”
