Graft case and arrest
The Sandiganbayan filed graft charges against him in 2012. In August 2016, the Sandiganbayan found him guilty of one charge of graft due to him awarding 6.599 hectares of public land to his brother, Orlando Lozada. On June 2, 2022, Lozada voluntarily surrendered to the NBI after the Sandiganbayan reportedly issued an arrest warrant after the Supreme Court reaffirmed the 2016 graft case.[2][3] He currently is held in New Bilibid Prison.[4]
