The Caloocan police filed charges of direct bribery, corruption of public officers and illegal possession of shabu against suspected drug queen and an accomplice before the Caloocan prosecutors office.
City police commander Senior Supt. Bartolome Bustamante said those charged were Edna Morales, 66, and Vanessa Marcos, 52.
Both were now detained at the Caloocan police detention cell.
Mayor Oscar Malapitan lauded the filing of charges against Morales whom police tagged as “queen of drug pushers.”
The mayor directed Bustamante to focus on the case of the suspect, who police said figured in the illegal drug trade.
Bustamante echoed the mayor’s pronouncement that by July 1, the anti-drug campaign including crimes will be strictly carried out in the city of Caloocan.
Bustamante said that Morales was arrested when she tried to bribe a policeman at PCP1 as she was trying to facilitate the release of Marcos at PCP1 last Friday around 11 a.m.
Marcos was detained for alleged possession of illegal drugs (shabu).
Morales allegedly handed a P15,000 cash to SP01 Samuel dela Cruz who arrested her instead.
