NBI seizes documents from ex-Rep. Zaldy Co's condo

National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents successfully retrieved relevant documents from the condominium units of former Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co in Taguig City.

The search warrant, issued by the Regional Trial Court of Taguig, authorized investigators to seize evidence related to graft cases filed against Co concerning an allegedly anomalous flood control project in Oriental Mindoro.

NBI spokesperson Palmer Mallari stated that the operation yielded "a lot of documents" with a "bearing on the investigation," matching earlier findings.

The NBI was authorized by the warrant to forcibly open vaults and confiscate documents or cash potentially connected to the crimes.

Co and 16 others are facing malversation and graft charges before the Sandiganbayan related to a P289 million substandard road dike project in Oriental Mindoro.

The Sandiganbayan has tagged Zaldy Co and three Sunwest executives as fugitives from justice.
