PNP denies kidnapping claims involving high-profile biz figures
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has categorically denied rumors circulating on social media about the alleged kidnapping of at least four high-profile businessmen.
PNP Chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil confirmed that he personally spoke with the businessmen in question, who are reportedly upset by the false reports.
PNP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo stated that there is no truth to the abduction claims and warned that spreading fake news is a criminal offense.
The PNP's Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) is currently gathering evidence to file charges against online users who are spreading these rumors.
The PNP emphasized that spreading false narratives will not be tolerated and that individuals proven to be involved will face consequences.
This denial comes amidst recent kidnapping incidents, including the case of Filipino-Chinese businessman Anson Que, who was found dead in Rizal.
