Gatchalian seeks PNP help over life threats tied to POGO probe
Senator Win Gatchalian has asked the Philippine National Police (PNP) for assistance regarding potential threats to his life.
In a letter dated July 4, Gatchalian reported an online video containing explicit threats against him, which he believes are related to his involvement in Senate hearings on illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGOs).
The PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo confirmed that the Anti Cybercrime Group is coordinating with Senator Gatchalian to investigate these threats and determine their source.
Gatchalian is leading an investigation into illegal activities of POGOs, including those linked to suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and her involvement in Zun Yuan Technology Inc. (ZYTI).
The Senate has issued an arrest warrant for Mayor Alice Guo for contempt, but ABS-CBN News is still awaiting comments from her legal team.
Additionally, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) is also coordinating with the PNP amid death threats received by its personnel during the crackdown on illegal POGOs.
