BI chief binigyan ng 24 oras para ibalik ang P20M suhol mula kay Jack Lam
BINIGYAN ni Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II si Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Jaime Morente ng 24 oras para ibalik ang P20 milyon sa P50 milyon suhol mula sa online gambling tycoon na si Jack Lam.
Inatasan ni Aguirre si Morente matapos niyang amining siya ang nagbigay ng go-signal kay Intelligence Chief Charles Calima na magsagawa ng counter-intelligence operation laban kina dating Immigration Associate Commissioners Al Argosino at Michael Robles.
“In view of your express admission that you authorized Gen. Charles T. Calima, the former Acting Intelligence Chief of BI, to conduct a counter-intelligence operation in connection of the alleged P50-million extortion purportedly committed by former Commissioners Al C. Argosino and Michael B. Robles, and in order to preserve the evidence of such extortion activity, you are hereby directed to turn over within 24 hours, the remaining P20 million to this department for safekeeping or to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), the agency conducting the investigation on the alleged extortion incident,” ayon pa kay Aguirre.
Tinanggal ni Aguirre si Calima matapos sabihin nina Argosino at Robles na tumanggap siya ng P18 milyon mula sa P50 milyong suhol, samantalang napunta naman ang P2 milyon kay Wally Sombero.
Sa kanyang kautusan binigyan ni Aguirre si Morente ng hanggang alas-5 ng hapon bukas para makapagsumite ng report.
“It is a proof of corruption. It should be surrendered immediately for accounting and safekeeping. The longer it remains unsurrendered, the longer the doubt persist,” ayon pa kay Aguirre.
