Brian Poe leads multi-agency illegal gaming raid
Seven individuals were arrested in Quezon City for allegedly operating illegal online and on-ground gambling without licenses, with operations concentrated around Congress premises.
The arrests were part of a coordinated raid by the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) involving multiple agencies including the DICT, PNP, PCSO, and Digital Pinoys.
Authorities confirmed the suspects violated provisions of the Revised Penal Code and the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
Rep. Brian Poe joined the operation and emphasized the effectiveness of inter-agency cooperation despite budget limitations.
Poe highlighted that the DICT's cybersecurity budget was cut by 36% and the CICC's capital outlay was set at zero for 2025, advocating for increased funding for cybercrime enforcement.
