Ombudsman Samuel Martires has set a two-week deadline, or possibly even earlier, for his office to finish the probe against the reportedly corrupt officials and employees of the Bureau of Customs (BOC).

He revealed during an ambush interview held at the multi-sectoral meeting held at the Ombudsman Office in Agham Road, Quezon City on Thursday afternoon that he gave the order to his staff to start the probe and create a panel on July 17.

He admitted that they’re “still investigating what kind of corruption” there is within the BOC, and he hopes to receive a partial report on Friday. Aside from the charges, the Ombudsman may also order the preventive suspension of any officer or employee, if in his judgment the evidence of guilt against them is strong.
