MANILA, Philippines – Huling nakita sa Israel ang isang opisyal ng Department of Public Works and Highways Mimaropa (DPWH 4B) na pinaghahanap dahil sa kasong may kaugnayan sa maanomalyang flood control project sa Oriental Mindoro, ayon sa Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG).
Bagamat hindi pinangalanan ni CIDG director Maj. Gen. Robert Alexander Morico II, ang huling opisyal ng DPWH 4B na hindi pa napapasakamay ng kustodiya ng pamahalaan ay kabilang sa mga tinukoy sa warrant na inisyu ng Sandiganbayan na si materials engineer Timojen Adiong Sacar.
Nang tanungin ang huling lokasyon ni Sacar, sinabi ni Morico na: “He’s in Israel. That’s our last information.”
Hindi naman nakipag-ugnayan si Sacar sa pulisya.
“Not yet, but we have efforts because we have police attachés there. The Chief PNP has already directed the police attachés.”
Si Sacar, at siyam pa sa mga kasamahan niyang opisyal ng DPWH 4B, at limang Sunwest Incorporated executives at si dating House appropriations chair and resigned Rep. Zaldy Co ay akusado sa graft at malversation sa umano’y maanomalyang P289.5 milyong road dike project sa Oriental Mindoro.
Noong nakaraang linggo, naiturn-over na sa kustodiya ng pamahalaan ang siyam na opisyal ng DPWH 4B bukod kay Sacar.
Ito ay sina:
Regional Director Gerald A. Pacanan
Assistant Regional Director Gene Ryan Alurin Altea
Assistant Regional Director Ruben delos Santos Santos Jr.
Quality Assurance and Hydrology Division officer-in-charge Dennis Pelo Abagon
Maintenance Division chief Juliet Cabungan Calvo
Construction Division chief Dominic Gregorio Serrano
Planning and Design Division officer-in-charge Montrexis Tordecilla Tamayo
project engineer Felisardo Sevare Casuno; and
Bidding and Awards Committee accountant Lerma Dotado Cayco
Kasalukuyan namang nasa abroad si Co maging sina Sunwest President Aderma Alcazar at Sunwest Treasurer Cesar Buenaventura ayon kay Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla.
“We’re closely coordinating with the Bureau of Immigration. We hope they come back because I think there is an effort also coming from the government to cancel their passports,” sinabi ni Morico.
Samantala, tinutunton sa Pilipinas sina Sunwest directors Consuelo Aldon, Noel Cao at Anthony Ngo. RNT/JGC
