ZAMBOANGA
CITY: Police arrested last Sunday, Dec. 14, in an entrapment operation, National
Police Commission (Napolcom) Region-9 director Atty. Macapado T. Guro for alleged
extortion.
Guro
was arrested here after two noncommissioned officers of the Isabela Central
Police Station reported him of supposedly extorting from them, ZCPO spokeperson
Supt. Ariel Huesca said.
Guro
allegedly asked for P10,000 each for the administrative case filed against the
two officers to be dismissed.
The
two unnamed policemen are facing administrative cases before Napolcom for their
absence in a court hearing against a suspect for his murder and illegal
possession of firearms case.
The
two cops were able to record the first transaction last week in a city pension
house between Guro and one of the officers.
Isabela
City Police C/Supt. Albert Larubis said that in another transaction at the same
place, Guro “was caught in the act of receiving the bribe money from the second
law enforcer.”
Santa
Maria Station 7 commander Supt. Diomare Albarico Albarico said Guro was taken
to the Police Region 9 Office at Camp Romeo Abendan for UV light powder dusting
and documentation.
