Ex-Philippine President's Husband Charged with Graft

A court in the Philippines has issued an arrest warrant for the husband of former president Gloria Arroyo.

Prosecutors say Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo took millions of dollars in bribes from a Chinese firm, ZTE Corporation, to push through a $330 million contract to build a national broadband network in 2007.

Arroyo says the charges are unjustified because the scandal-plagued project was never carried out. His lawyer said he plans to turn himself in and post bail.
