Former Philippine National Police deputy chief for operations Police Lieutenant General Benjamin Santos Jr. on Friday denied his involvement in alleged “cover-up” in connection with the P6.7 billion shabu case.
Abalos launched a probe led by the National Police Commission into the illegal drug case of now-dismissed Police Master Sergeant Rodolfo Mayo Jr. involving 990 kilograms of confiscated shabu. Santos said he was "shocked" when Abalos included his name in the list of implicated cops over his "mere presence in a CCTV footage." He said there was a lack of due process for him to explain his side.
One of the cops named by Abalos, Police Brigadier General Narciso Domingo, who recently has been removed as PNP Drug Enforcement Group chief, earlier admittedBut, Domingo said these were part of a tactical move to capture another group of drug suspects in Pasig, which was revealed by Mayo after his arrest in Manila.
