Police exec probed over raided Tarlac, Pampanga POGOs
Central Luzon's regional police director, Police Brig. Gen. Jose S. Hidalgo Jr., is under investigation by Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Rommel Francisco Marbil.
The investigation concerns his accountability for illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hubs operating as scam farms in his jurisdiction, Tarlac and Pampanga.
This probe was prompted by allegations of unreported killings within these POGO hubs, which Marbil stated should have been investigated by local police.
As a result of the lack of proper action, the entire police force of the Bamban, Tarlac Municipal Police Station, the chief of police of Porac, Pampanga, and the director of the Pampanga Police Provincial Office have been relieved.
