The government may choose to either deport or file charges against the 12 individuals involved in the alleged trafficking of over 1,000 victims in Clark, Pampanga, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said Monday.
“We have to file the necessary charges against them. The choices now are whether we file charges and we don’t deport or we deport without filing charges, but we cannot have both,” Remulla said in an ambush interview.
The Philippine National Police-Anti-Cybercrime Group brought the 12 individuals to the Department of Justice for inquest proceedings on Saturday.According to the agency, the alleged traffickers are under the custody of the PNP-ACG. “The victims, mostly male, were instructed to pretend to be attractive women to lure their victims to invest,” it added.
