PNP says cop in P6.7-B shabu haul in Manila might be acquitted over 'operation anomalies'
Retired Brig. Gen. Narciso Domingo, former chief of the PNP Drug Enforcement Group, alleges a syndicate is seeking revenge through the P6.7-billion drug case filed against him and other police officers.
Domingo claims the charges are based on fabricated evidence and a botched prosecution of a drug case involving Police Master Sergeant Rodolfo Mayo.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) acknowledges the possibility that Sgt. Rodolfo Mayo, Jr. might be acquitted from the drug charges due to alleged operation anomalies.
PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo stated that if Mayo is acquitted, the police officials involved in the alleged cover-up would have to explain their actions.
Domingo has denied allegations of a cover-up and urged President Marcos to investigate the case, suggesting potential manipulation by criminal syndicates.
