Atong Ang’s arrest warrant to be released ‘any time now’ – DILG
An arrest warrant for businessman Charlie "Atong" Ang is expected to be released "anytime now," according to Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla.
The Department of Justice found sufficient evidence to indict Ang on charges related to kidnapping with homicide and serious illegal detention, with Remulla stating the cases are all non-bailable.
These charges stem from allegations that Ang masterminded the disappearances of several sabungeros (cockfighting enthusiasts).
A whistleblower, Julie "Dondon" Patidongan, identified Ang as the alleged mastermind behind these disappearances.
On December 9, the DOJ recommended the filing of 26 counts of kidnapping against Ang and at least 21 others, including 15 police officers, for their alleged involvement in the case of the missing sabungeros.
Ang's legal counsel has argued that the DOJ's findings are inconsistent with the evidence presented.
