2 Negros Occidental cops sacked over alleged illegal gambling ‘payola’

Two policemen assigned in Negros Occidental are facing a probe for allegedly receiving protection money or 'payola' from financiers of illegal gambling. Lt. Col. Arnel Solis, spokesman of the Police Regional Office 6 said that the two policemen, whom he did not identify, were relieved from their respective assignments in Negros Occidental, and have been transferred to the Regional Personnel Holding Accounting Unit at Camp Martin Delgado in Iloilo, for investigation.

The bookies or collectors are reported to be part of a syndicate that operates the illegal numbers game in Negros Occidental, using STL draws of the PCSO. While Wanky did not require police units on the number of illegal gambling violators to be arrested, Solis said they were instructed to verify the existence of illegal gambling operations in their respective areas, which was to be validated by a team from PRO-6.
