CIDG chief Torre faces illegal detention case

CIDG director Maj. Gen. Nicolas Torre III and his subordinates failed to attend the preliminary investigation set by the Makati prosecutor's office on April 21 and 28.

In March, Rotchelle Calle, 48, filed complaints for unlawful arrest and arbitrary detention against Torre and his men.

The STAR asked Torre for comment but has yet to receive a reply.

Calle accused the CIDG of illegally detaining her from Nov. 21 to 27, 2024 after the Interpol issued a red notice against her on May 2, 2023.
