DOJ looking into POGO links in Anson Que kidnap-slay case
The Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are investigating a possible link between the kidnapping and killing of businessman Anson Que and the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) industry.
Que and his driver, Armanie Pabillo, were discovered dead in Rodriguez, Rizal, with signs of strangulation and bruises, two weeks after being reported missing.
Authorities previously found the businessman's luxury van in Quezon City.
Despite reports of the family paying P100 million in ransom, both Que and Pabillo were killed.
DOJ Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that they are looking into allegations of POGO bosses demanding a refund from Que as a possible motive.
PNP Chief P/Gen. Rommel Marbil described the case as an unusual kidnapping with a significant twist, promising further details after the investigation and case filing.
