Question

Pedro, a municipal treasurer, received from the Provincial Treasurer of the Province five (5) brand new typewriters for use in the municipal treasurer's office. Each typewriter is valued at P10,000.00. Since Pedro needed money for the hospitalization of his sick son, he sold four (4) of the typewriters to his friend, Rodolfo, a general merchant in San Isidro for P2,000.00 each. Rodolfo, as a general merchant knew that one typewriter could easily be between P6,000.00 to P10,000.00. For this reason, he readily agreed to buy the typewriters. Rodolfo then resold the typewriters at P6,000.00 thus making a profit of P16,000.00.

Two months after the transaction, Pedro was audited and the investigation as to his accountabilities led to the discovery that Rodolfo bought the four (4) typewriters from Pedro. Is Rodolfo liable as an accessory or for violation of the Anti-Fencing Law? (1987 BAR)
