PNP creates TF29 against scalawags

Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla on Saturday said that the Philippine National Police (PNP) had created Task Force (TF) 29 dedicated to cracking down on the 29 cops who were issued active search warrants for criminal cases in the supposed P6.7-billion drug haul in Manila in October 2022.

“May task force na si Gen. (Rommel Francisco) Marbil para makuha lahat ng mga accused, lahat (ng) may warrant of arrest. Sabi niya within this week makukuha niya lahat, (There is already a task force to arrest all the accused)” Remulla said.

He also commended the leadership of PNP Gen. Marbil for their accomplishments in the anti-illegal drugs campaign which was executed in accordance with the law.

Earlier this week, Remulla revealed that 41 more cops were held administratively accountable for the said drug incident.

According to the DILG Chief, the Department of Justice is set to file new cases on collusion and conspiracy against the implicated personnel which are non-bailable offenses.
