Azurin appointed a new head of its Drug Enforcement Group after Abalos implicated high-ranking police officials in a “massive” attempt to cover up irregularities committed by its own antidrug operatives. | dexcabalzaINQ /PDI
It was said to be the PNP’s biggest drug haul.
Police officers were seen removing the handcuffs on Mayo in at least four instances before he entered the WPDLI office on the day of the raid. The PNP said on Thursday the other eight officers caught in the footage shown by Abalos had also gone on leave. Azurin, who will be retiring when he reaches 56 years old on April 24, has been tight-lipped since Abalos’ revelations.
Days after the October operation, the PNP discovered that at least two DEG officers took 42 kilos of shabu before the 990 kilos had been inventoried. They were seen in the CCTV footage, which Domingo said he reported to Azurin. The Napolcom inquiry is on top of the ongoing assessment being carried out by a five-man advisory body formed by Abalos in January to evaluate the links of high-ranking PNP officials to illegal drugs.
