The Department of Justice will file criminal charges in court against a Canadian national who was arrested in Tagaytay City for possession of illegal drugs and who is also a suspect in the seizure of P13.3 billion worth of shabu in Alitagtag, Batangas last April 15.
The BI and the PNP acted on a red notice issued against O’Quinn by the International Criminal Police Organization based on an arrest warrant issued in the United States for violating illegal drug laws. The DOJ said O’Quinn’s arrest in Tagaytay City and the seizure of illegal drugs from him would be the basis in the filing of criminal charges against him in court.
“Finding that the evidence of the complainant sufficient and that respondent was validly arrested, criminal informations for two counts of violation of Section 11 of RA No. 9165 and for the crime of use of fictitious names will be filed against him before the appropriate courts,” the DOJ said, in a statement.
