NewsTranscript
00:00The eight police officers of the Eastern Police District Special Operations Unit who were involved in the robbery arrived at the Las Pinas Prosecutor's Office for an inquest.
00:11They did not initiate an interview. According to their lawyer who did not face the camera, the police were innocent and the operation was legitimate, according to their officials.
00:22They operated on a Chinese businessman on April 2 because of the case of illegal possession of firearms.
00:27But the police seized P27 million cash.
00:31Some foreign currencies, gold bar, and expensive souvenirs were also seized.
00:37We talked to the Chinese businessman with the help of his friend who served as a translator, but he did not face the camera.
00:44He said that P85 million was seized from him. He also did not have a warrant of arrest.
00:51Although their names have the same spelling of the person with the warrant, their first name is his last name.
00:57While the last name of the person with the warrant is his first name.
01:00According to him, the police arrested him by mistake because he was not recognized by the DSO, but by the police.
01:08Our arrest in Las Pinas has the same name as the one in the warrant of arrest held by our police suspects.
01:18They have the same name, but different personalities. According to the CIDG who filed this case against the person with the same name, he's not the one.
01:27He's not the one.
01:29He also said that the police did not recognize him.
01:31Lerawan asked for money in exchange for his freedom.
01:34He also showed these pictures and videos, which proved that the police were against the CCTV cameras in his house.
01:40The Las Pinas Police said that the operating unit coordinated with them, but the process was not correct.
01:47We received a 12-month operation. What happened, the implementation or the service of warrant is 2 p.m.
01:55It was intended to be 2 hours. It's not ample time for us to fully assess the warrant.
02:05They have the intention that we cannot evaluate the coordination.
02:11Usually, 24 hours before the operation, the operating unit records their walk to the police station.
02:18They did not say that the target of the operation was arrested.
02:22The DSOU chief was also relieved from his post, but until now, he has not reported on the incident.
02:29Administratively relieved is also the EPD District Director, Police Brigadier General Villa Mortoliao and all the police in the EPD DSOU.
02:36We ordered the relief of the District Director to pave the way for an impartial investigation.
02:43We will see if he has any shortcomings in such incidents.
02:50In addition to robbery, unlawful arrest, illegal detention and kidnapping of police officers.
