Hindi pa lusot siCriminal Investigation and Detection Group-National Capital Region (CIDG-NCR) chief, Col. Hansel Marantan at 12 na tauhang pulis sa alegasyong pangongotong sa 13 na Chinese na nauna nang inaresto sa pagsusugal sa Parañaque.
Ito ang reaksyon ni PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin, Jr. nitong Lunes, Marso 20, at sinabing kinakailangan pa nilang pag-aralan ang affidavit ng grupo ng 13 na Chinese na naunangnagreklamo dahil sa insidente.
“Whether it was done voluntarily or under duress, there is investigation being conducted by the IAS (Internal Affairs Service), we will know the summary of the truth on that affidavit of desistance or denial. What isclear there isthere is an operation of the CIDG-NCR, there was an arrest made and we have to determine criminal and administrative liability,” aniya.
“They have to confirm what they have signed and submitted. Why is there such a report that something was lost and was returned and suddenly, the story was reversed,” pagdidiin ni Azurin.
Binanggit ni Azurin ang sinumpaang salaysay ng mga Chinese nitong Marso 16 na nagsasabing hindi sila kinikilan ng mga pulis ng CIDG-NCR.
“Aside from the pieces of evidence they have recovered during their operation, the CIDG-NCR never took money or any personal belongings from the undersigned,” bahagi ng affidavit ng mga ito.
SinaLin Andan, Yi Aile, Li Meiyi, Xiao Yan, Nian Xian, Zhang Fui, Jimmy Jutang, Wu Wei Long, Niu Howy, Lei Wen, A Shui, Peng Jun at Ki Kin ay pinalaya mula nang sila ay ikulong matapos maaktuhang nagsusugal sa isang compound sa Parañaque nitong Marso 13.
Matatandaangsinibak sa kanilang puwesto ang grupo ni Marantan dahil sa alegasyong tinangay ng mga ito ang mga relo at iba pang kagamitan ng mga dinakip na Chinese.
Tumanggi na rin umanong magsampa ng reklamo ang mga pinalayang Chinese, ayon naman kayPhilippine National Police (PNP) deputy chief foradministration,Lt. Gen. Rhodel Sermonia.
