Four names of alleged 'players' in vegetable smuggling supposedly protected by politicians were floated in a Senate investigation Tuesday.
PublishedFour names of alleged "players" in vegetable smuggling supposedly protected by politicians were floated in a Senate investigation Tuesday.
The Senate panel has invited an official from the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency Sub-Task Group on Economic Intelligence to verify the information about the said "players" in agricultural smuggling in the country. "And right now, with all due respect, I cannot divulge other names, because I am not in the position to disclose this classified information, this has to be validated, it might cause undue embarrassment to those who are listed," he added.
Apart from the four names mentioned by Sotto, Batalla said there are more than 20 individuals, including the so-called "protectors", who were on their list.
