PNP-CIDG confirms issuance of subpoenas vs flood control personalities
The Philippine National Police - Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) has issued subpoenas to several individuals as part of an investigation into alleged corruption in flood control and infrastructure projects.
The CIDG's actions are in response to a directive from acting PNP chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. to support the Independent Commission on Infrastructure's (ICI) probe.
CIDG Director Maj. Gen. Robert Alexander Morico II confirmed that subpoenas were issued under Republic Act No. 10973, which grants the CIDG director the authority to summon individuals.
The CIDG has the power to file cases for indirect contempt if individuals fail to comply with a subpoena.
Director Morico declined to name the specific individuals subpoenaed, stating that further details would be provided by the ICI as the investigation is ongoing.
