MANILA (AFP): The former chief police enforcer of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's deadly war on drugs will be charged with corruption for allegedly protecting officers linked to the narcotics trade, the justice department said on Thursday (Jan 16).

Oscar Albayalde resigned in October after serving as Philippine police chief for more than a year, having presided over an anti-narcotics crackdown that left thousands of drug suspects dead.

The justice department said prosecutors found"probable cause" to charge Albayalde for not punishing officers accused of failing to account for 163kg of drugs and 9.7 million pesos seized from a drug raid. Human rights groups allege the real number is four times higher, and say the killings are a crime against humanity.
