Authorities have arrested a married couple for allegedly attempting to bribe a family member of a missing cockfighter, John Claude Inonog, to withdraw a complaint filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The suspects reportedly offered P1.5 million to Jaja Pilarta, Inonog's partner, in exchange for her silence and retraction of the complaint against businessman Charlie "Atong" Ang and others.
The entrapment operation leading to the couple's arrest was conducted by the Philippine National Police - Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Rizal.
Pilarta stated that the bribe was intended for her to sign a recantation and cease involvement in court hearings related to the missing sabungeros.
