10 CIDG officers axed over P18 million ‘hulidap’
Ten Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) personnel have been sacked from their posts and are in police custody for allegedly extorting P18 million from individuals they arrested in a raid in Tondo, Manila.
The incident occurred in February when CIDG Southern Metro Manila District Field Unit officers arrested a Chinese national and two Filipinos for alleged possession of unlicensed firearms.
The officers allegedly brought the victims to their office in Taguig City and demanded P18 million in exchange for their release.
The victims were able to give the amount demanded by the CIDG officers.
The CIDG personnel were disarmed, relieved from their posts, and taken to the PNP custodial facility.
The CIDG officers are facing cases of kidnapping and serious illegal detention, unlawful arrest, planting of evidence, grave misconduct, conduct unbecoming of a police officer, and neglect of duty.
