The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) is set to file human trafficking charges against Bamban town Mayor Alice Guo.
PAOCC spokesperson Winston John Casio made the announcement over the weekend, stressing that the “serious” and “non-bailable charges shall be filed “in the coming days.”
He said that Guo had partial ownership of the properties where the alleged human trafficking activities had taken place.
Casio said Guo’s name and her signature are found “in so many documents.”
“Two nights ago we were able to get an official document with her signature,” he disclosed in an interview with ABS-CBN.
He said that money laundering is also among the other possible charges against Guo.
Casio said the cases are expected to be filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ) on June 21.
“The liability of the current mayor is on paper,” he said. The PAOCC official also said it is also looking into the possible link between the illegal POGO operations in Bamban, Tarlac and in Porac, Pampanga.
