PNP 'grand conspiracy' probe underway
January 15, 2025
|The Philippine Star
A "grand conspiracy" of police officers mishandling drug operations during the previous Duterte administration will be probed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla has cited systemic corruption within the Philippine National Police after 22 PNP officers were placed in restrictive custody for "simulated" arrests, planting evidence and delaying the prosecution of drug cases in 2022.
Staged arrests were made by 30 police officers, supposedly leading to the seizure of 990 kilos of shabu worth P6.7 billion in Tondo, Manila.
Over 400 kilos of drugs were reportedly withheld and resold by police for about P2.4 billion. About 307 kilos remain unaccounted for.
Eight of the 30 police officers involved retired, resigned or were dismissed.
At a Monday press conference, Remulla said the operation in 2022 revealed what appeared to be a "grand conspiracy" to hide a "criminal enterprise" within the PNP.
