Inilagay sa Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) ang hinihinalang drug lord, businessman na si Peter Lim at iba pang drug personalities na pawang nahaharap sa reklamo sa Department of Justice (DoJ).
Nag-isyu ng memorandum si Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II na nag-aatas sa Bureau of Immigration (BI) na ilagay sa lookout list sina Lim, alyas Jaguar; self-confessed drug trader na si Rolan “Kerwin” Espinosa, na nasa kustodiya na ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI); convicted drug lord Peter Co, na nakapiit na sa New Bilibid Prison (NBP); drug supplier na sina Lovely Adam Impal; Marcelo Adorco; Max Miro; Ruel Malindangan; at Jun Pepito.
Ipinaliwanag ni Aguirre na ang ILBO ay hiniling ni Police Superintendent Richard Verceles, officer-in-charge ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group’s Major Crimes Investigation Unit (CIDG-MCIU), matapos ihain ang reklamo laban sa walong katao sa DoJ para sa paglabag sa Section 26 (b) in relation to Section 5 (Sale, Trading, Administration, Dispensation, Delivery, Distribution and Transportation of Dangerous Drugs and/or Controlled Precursors and Essential Chemicals) of Republic Act No. 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
“In view of the gravity of the offense filed against the above-named individuals, there is likelihood that they might leave the country to place themselves beyond the reach of the lawful processes of the concerned offices,” base sa memorandum ni Aguirre na may petsang Hulyo 11.
Ipinag-utos ni Aguirre sa BI “to be on the lookout/alert for the above-named individuals in the event that anyone of them pass through immigration counters in any of our international airports and/or seaports.”
