Police linked to missing sabungero case? PNP vows no one will be spared
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has vowed to investigate thoroughly and hold accountable anyone involved in the abduction of at least 34 "sabungeros," regardless of their position or affiliation.
This statement follows a suspect's claim that police officers were responsible for the disappearances and alleged killings of the victims.
PNP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo assured that no one, including fellow officers, would be spared in the investigation.
Regarding the suspect's assertion that the victims were buried in Taal Lake, Fajardo stated that the PNP has not yet received a formal request from the Department of Justice (DOJ) for assistance from the PNP Maritime Group.
However, Fajardo affirmed the PNP's readiness to provide any requested assistance to the DOJ to aid in the investigation.
The PNP previously expressed willingness to offer protection to the suspect if they formalized their claims in an affidavit to support the case building.
