The applicable penalty for the crime of Plunder, under  R.A. 7080 (as amended by R.A. 7659), is reclusion perpetua to death. The death penalty, however, was already abolished, which means that the applicable penalty is reclusion perpetua, without prejudice to other accessory penalties that may be imposed by the court. Upon conviction, what is the other penalty in addition to imprisonment? In case of conviction by final judgment, the accused shall lose all retirement or gratuity benefits under any law. However, if the accused is acquitted, he shall be entitled to reinstatement and to the salaries and other benefits which he failed to receive during suspension, unless in the meantime, administrative proceedings have been filed against him.
