The findings of an investigation on government personnel involved in the dismissed mayor Alice Guo’s escape will be released soon, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said over the weekend.
“I was just told that the only thing I can disclose at this point is that it is coming to an end. and we can expect that the results of the investigation will come out very soon,” Assistant Secretary and spokesperson Mico Clavano said in a news forum in Quezon City.
Clavano said the results may be released this month, unless new information comes up.
“Well, they also did not give a timeline however… from the (DOJ) Secretary’s (Jesus Crispin Remulla) direction, any actuation, it seems to be, perhaps this month. Although I cannot also guarantee that because if other factors or other facts come to light, then it may be moved,” the DOJ official said.
Clavano declined to disclose the number of people involved or which government personnel are being probed, saying that he is “simply not privy to that information.”
“We’re not only looking at the possibilities of public officials aiding and abetting, but we’re also looking at the angle of private individuals as well,” according to him.
“She (Guo) could have not done this alone. So, mayroon talaga siyang network and the POGO network is quite big. It’s quite large. There’s a web of these bosses, managers, supervisors that may be helping each other as well,” he added.IMT
