ZAMBOANGA CITY, Dec.
16 (PNA) – The Department of Justice (DOJ) has indicted a ranking government
official who was arrested in an entrapment in this city.
Indicted on Monday
for two counts of violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and two
counts Direct Bribery is Atty. Macapado Guro, National Police Commission
(NAPOLCOM) regional director.
The DOJ indicted Guro
after the Police Station 7 on Monday forwarded three criminal complaints
against the official before the City Prosecutor’s Office.
Supt. Diomarie
Albarico, Police Station 7 chief, however reported Tuesday the City Prosecutor
“omitted” the robbery with extortion case against Guro.
Guro was arrested in
an entrapment last Friday at a pension house in Barangay Sta. Maria, this city.
The entrapment was
carried out after Guro allegedly demanded P10,000 from each of the two Isabela
City policemen, who have pending cases at Napolcom, in exchange for dropping
their pending administrative cases.
Meanwhile, Albarico
said the respondent-official was released Monday as he managed to obtain
“provisional liberty pending trial” after posting a total of P100,000 bail.
This came about after
Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 13 Judge Eric Elumba granted Guro’s
“Extremely Urgent Petition to Post Bail pending Preliminary investigation.”
