The PNP revealed that its CIDG has “strong evidence” that Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. and several others were involved in Gov. Roel Degamo’s assassination and three other murder cases in 2019. | FArgosinoINQ
Fajardo did not specify details of the evidence, but she cited Teves and others’ alleged involvement in the murder of late Board Member Miguel Dungo, Lester Bato, and Pacito Libron perpetrated way back in 2019.
“The CIDG has yet to receive the copy of the resolution, but if this is true, we respect the findings and the disposition of the DOJ on this particular case or complaint; this only goes to show that the government is here to prosecute and not to persecute,” Fajardo said in a media briefing. “Ang iba pang kaso kasama si Teves bilang akusado ay sasailalim sa preliminary investigation ng DOJ,” she added.
The raid led to the arrest of Teves’ secretary Hanna Mae Sumerao Oray, Heracleo Sangasin Oray, Rodolfo Teves Maturan, Joseph Kyle Catalan Maturan, Jose Pablo Gimarangan, and Roland Aguisanda Pablio.
