Information leaking

He was convicted of helping to transmit classified information stolen from U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's office to opposition leaders in the Philippines. Aquino faced a jail sentence of between 70 and 87 months plus a $250,000 fine. On July 17, 2007, he was sentenced to six years and four months in prison by U.S. District Judge William H. Walls.

United States court ruling (Dacer-Corbito)

In a petition granted by the Court of Appeals in April 2002, he was included as additional accused, with P/Supt. Cezar Mancao II, and P/Sr. Supt. Teofilo Viña, chief of PAOCTF–Visayas, as well as another police officers.

In January 2014, a district court in North Carolina, United States ordered former P/Supt. Aquino to pay Dacer's daughters $4.2 million in damages. The daughters used the Torture Victim Protection Act, allowing US courts to hear human rights abuse cases committed outside the said country.
