00:00Legitimate and without theft that happened.
00:03This is the case of 8 police from the Eastern Police District
00:07who were arrested for theft and robbery in the questionable operation in Las Piñas.
00:12Niko Wahe is the witness.
00:18The 8 police from the Eastern Police District Special Operations Unit who were involved in the robbery came to the Las Piñas Prosecutor's Office for an inquest.
00:26They did not file a complaint.
00:28According to their lawyer who did not face the camera, the police were innocent and the operation was legitimate according to their officials.
00:36They operated on a Chinese businessman on April 2 because of the case of illegal possession of firearms.
00:43But the police got 27 million pesos cash.
00:47Some foreign currencies, gold bar, and expensive souvenirs were also taken away.
00:53We talked to the Chinese businessman with the help of his friend who served as a translator.
00:57But he did not face the camera.
00:59He said that 85 million pesos were taken from him.
01:03He also said that he was not in the warrant of arrest.
01:05Although their names have the same spelling of the person who has the warrant,
01:09his first name is his last name.
01:11While the last name of the person in the warrant is his first name.
01:15According to him, the police who were arrested were not from the DSOU, but from the police.
01:22He also said that he did not blame the police.
01:24They asked for money in exchange for his freedom.
01:28He also showed pictures and videos that proved that the police were against the CCTV cameras in his house.
01:34The Las Pinas Police said that the operating unit coordinated with them.
01:38But they said that the process was not right.
01:40We also received a 12-month operation.
01:44What happened, the implementation or the service of warrant is 2 p.m.
01:48It was intended to be only 2 hours.
01:52It's not ample time for us to fully assess the warrant.
01:58They have the intention that we cannot evaluate the coordination.
02:04Usually, 24 hours before the operation, the operating unit records their walk to the police station.
02:11They did not say that they were caught by the target of operation.
02:16The DSOU chief was also relieved from his post.
02:18Until now, he has not reported on the incident.
02:22Administratively relieved is also the EPD District Director of Police Brigadier General Villa Mortoliao and all police in the EPD DSOU.
02:30Aside from robbery, unlawful arrest, illegal detention, and kidnapping of the policemen.
