NAPOLCOM files raps vs ex-HPG official over alleged P7-M bribery, case-fixing scheme
The National Police Commission (Napolcom) has filed administrative charges for grave misconduct and conduct unbecoming of a police officer against a former Highway Patrol Group (HPG) official.
The official, identified as former HPG Special Operations Division (SOD) head Col. Rommel Estolano, is accused of accepting P7 million in bribes.
These alleged bribes were reportedly received in exchange for special treatment and fixing the case of an arrested suspect.
The charges stem from an operation on June 13 where HPG personnel apprehended a suspect named 'JJ Javier' for traffic violations and subsequently discovered firearms in his vehicle.
