Chinese 'manager' of Porac POGO nabbed in Pampanga raid
Authorities apprehended a Chinese national, identified as the alleged manager of an illegal POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga, during a raid at a resort within the Clark Freeport Zone.
The operation, conducted by the CIDG and PAOCC, targeted five villas inside the Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino.
The arrested foreigner is believed to be one of the 'big bosses' of the POGO facility, with the operation stemming from information that escapees from a previous raid were hiding at the resort.
The suspect, whose name was withheld, was arrested on Thursday night and is currently being questioned by the PAOCC and CIDG.
Authorities are seeking a warrant to open 14 safety vaults seized during the operation.
The role of the Chinese national is still being determined, though he was described as a 'manager'.
Police are also investigating reports of a former police officer being apprehended during the raid.
