PNP-CIDG files complaint against 8 Chinese POGO workers for illegal detention

The Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) has filed a complaint of serious illegal detention against eight Chinese nationals involved in a raid at a POGO hub in Bamban, Tarlac.

Police Brig. Gen. Nicholas Torre confirmed that the eight respondents are employees of the raided facility who allegedly held two Chinese nationals against their will and forced them to work.

The victims were rescued during a March raid where more than 800 Filipinos and foreign nationals were freed from the compound.

Former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo faces multiple charges including graft, qualified trafficking, tax evasion, perjury, and money laundering in various courts across the Philippines.
