The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is investigating 40 of its district offices for alleged involvement in the "technical carnapping" of seized vehicles, which involves the illegal transfer of ownership.
This investigation is part of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s intensified campaign against government corruption.
LTO Chief Vigor Mendoza II will issue notices to explain to the heads of the implicated offices based on intelligence reports from the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The scheme involves unauthorized processing of Cancellation of Transfer of Ownership requests and the issuance of fraudulent documents by certain LTO offices.
LTO is coordinating with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Secretary Vince Dizon has instructed to file criminal and administrative charges against those found liable.
Individuals involved could face dismissal from service, grave misconduct charges, and violations of LTO regulations.
