Alias Totoy names Atong Ang, Gretchen Barretto in missing 'sabungeros' case
Businessman Charlie "Atong" Ang has been identified by one of the accused, Julie "Dondon" Patidongan, as the mastermind behind the abductions of missing sabungeros.
Patidongan, a former chief of security for Ang's farms and cockfight arenas, also implicated actress Gretchen Barretto in connection with the disappearances.
According to Patidongan's exclusive interview, Ang, along with Eric Dela Rosa and Engineer Celso Salazar, are the primary masterminds of the abductions.
Patidongan detailed that Dela Rosa monitored cockfights for cheating and reported offenders to Ang, who then ordered their apprehension and "disposal."
Patidongan previously stated that the missing cockfight watchers have all been killed, and that police officers were allegedly ordered to handle the "cheating" cockfighters.
