The PNP CIDG announced that over 40 individuals will face charges in relation to the riots that occurred during the Sept. 21 anti-corruption rallies.
The violence, which took place at Mendiola and C.M. Recto, resulted in hundreds of injuries and the arrest of at least 216 people, including 91 minors.
CIDG Director Maj. Gen. Robert Alexander Morico III stated that cases are expected to be filed either today or next week against the identified instigators.
