MANILA, Philippines – At least two police generals and eight other officers have been suspended for their possible part in the alleged “massive attempt” to cover up the arrest of the cop allegedly involved in a P6.7 billion shabu bust.
The shabu bust happened last October 2022, when the PNP seized in Tondo Manila a total of 990 kilograms of the illegal substance, valued at P6.7 billion.Mayo, was an intelligence officer of the PNP’s Drug Enforcement Group . He was arrested and dismissed from service following the operation. Abalos, who is also the chairperson of the National Police Commission , said the police officials allegedly involved in the cover-up must go on leaves or face suspensions pending an investigation.
Napolcom said Catarata and Robsora allegedly took 42 kilograms of shabu out of the 990 kilograms seized by the PNP as a “reward” for the informants. Those two officers eventually returned the missing shabu to the PNP and are also now under investigation.
