Remulla: No sacred cows in probe of past admin's drug war
Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla stated that the investigation into the alleged involvement of Philippine National Police (PNP) chiefs in the previous administration's drug war will be impartial, with no special treatment for anyone.
Remulla emphasized that anyone found guilty will face the full consequences of the law.
This statement comes in response to a call for former top police officials to clarify their roles following claims by a former police official about a payment and rewards system for eliminating drug suspects.
The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the PNP will proceed with the investigation once the congressional hearing on extrajudicial killings concludes.
PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil confirmed that statements have been requested from former PNP chiefs to initiate the probe.
