Que family denies slain trader’s link to POGO
The family of slain businessman Anson Tan, also known as Anson Que, has denied allegations linking him to Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
Their legal counsel, former Quezon City congressman Christopher "Kit" Belmonte, stated the family has no knowledge of any rental properties in Bulacan connected to POGO operations.
Que and his driver were found dead in Rodriguez, Rizal, two weeks after they went missing, and police are investigating possible links between Que and POGO operations.
The PNP reported that suspects had been identified in connection with the killings and that authorities were probing claims of Que's alleged unpaid debts to POGOs.
The family's counsel emphasized that Mr. Tan was involved in legitimate businesses for decades, was a respected member of the Filipino-Chinese business community, and was known for his charitable activities.
They also affirmed their full cooperation with the Philippine National Police while asking for privacy during their mourning period.
