Harry Roque’s ‘footprint is everywhere’ in POGO documents, testimonies – PAOCC
The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) is investigating former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque for possible involvement in illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
Roque's name and alleged connections have repeatedly surfaced in documents and testimonies related to the POGO investigation.
PAOCC spokesperson Winston Casio stated that Roque's name appearing in various aspects of the investigation cannot be a mere coincidence.
Casio added that while they are giving Roque the benefit of the doubt, his widespread presence in the POGO documents makes his possible involvement a serious consideration.
Roque's aide's appointment papers, an endorsement letter from Roque for his aide's travel, and a document suggesting Roque headed the legal department of a POGO-related company were found during a raid.
