A personnel of the BIR was caught after allegedly extorting money from a business owner in Zamboanga City.
Based on the complainant’s sworn affidavit, a Notice of Discrepancy dated April 20, 2022 signed by Revenue District Officer Malic Umpar indicated tax liabilities for the period January 1 to December 31, 2020 amounting to P30,716, 845.24.
On May 17, Albao allegedly told the business owner the tax liability can just go down to just P2 million and could pay it until September this year, on condition she will pay “an upfront SOP of P1 million.”The business owner was supposedly assured that after paying the P1 million bribe, she will get the schedule of payment of her tax liability.
She was also warned about her business assets being frozen if she fails to settle the assessed tax liability.Worried, the business owner immediately paid for half of the demanded bribe. After sometime, Albao allegedly made regular calls to follow up on the remaining P500,000 so that her case will not be forwarded to the regional office.
