bitstarz NCRPO arrests 47 most wanted persons

MANILA, Philippines — Forty-seven most wanted fugitives were arrested in Metro Manila in the first three days of the year, police reported yesterday.

Brig. Gen. Anthony Aberin, National Capital Region Police Office director, said the suspects were apprehended by police tracker teams from Jan. 1 to 3.

Aberin said among the people arrested was a 26-year-old man listed as the No. 6 most wanted person in Metro Manila for rape and acts of lasciviousness.

“It is high time for these elusive and notorious wanted persons to answer these heinous crimes they have committed and squarely face the scales of justice,” Aberin said.

The accused mastermind, police Supt. Rafael Dumlao of the AIDG, was cleared by Angeles City Regional Trial Court Judge Eda Dizon in June 2023, but the ruling was overturned by the Court of Appeals in July this year. The Supreme Court said the CA, in convicting Dumlao as the mastermindbitstarz, found Dizon’s trial to be “a sham and an apparent mockery of the judicial process such that Dumlao’s acquittal was a foregone conclusion and in total disregard of the evidence.”
