MGen. Carlos Garcia Corruption Case

THE new head of public relations for Marc Jacobs' men's division has an interesting fashion accessory: an ankle bracelet.

Tim Mark Garcia is currently out on bond and facing extradition back to the Philippines on "plunder" charges -- and he's been wearing the ankle bracelet to fashion parties around town.

His father, former Armed Forces of the Philippines comptroller Major General Carlos F. Garcia, has been accused of stealing $6.2 million in public funds. A Trump Park Avenue condo purchased in the younger Garcia's name in 2004 for $765,000 is alleged to have been bought with the illegal cash.

His mother and two siblings are also facing extradition. A lawyer for Garcia denies the charges. He told Page Six, "He has absolutely no criminal record whatsoever. Whatever is transpiring has to do with the Philippines." No one at Marc Jacobs returned calls.
