Victims of four “kotong cops” in Makati City – rogue police officers engaged in extortion and kidnap activities – are showing up at the office of the Counter-Intelligence Task Force (CITF) to help build a case against the four police officers implicated in the abduction of a pair of merchants in Pasay City.
The suspect police officers are likewise being investigated for possible links to the case of the abduction-slay of Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo.
A person who introduced himself as a victim of the four rogue cops went to CITF officials to say he recognized some of the suspects.
Still another businessman, who will be known for now by the alias “Zaldy”, also showed up at CITF after seeing replays of news footages involving the kotong cops.
He suspected they were the same ones who victimized him this April, when he was going home after winning P600,000 at a cockfight derby.
In Mandaluyong City, he was accosted by men who identified themselves as police officers, threatening to kill him after manhandling him.
“He looked like PO2 Clarence Maynes of the Makati police, who hurt and threatened me,” Zaldy said.
PO1 Tim Santos, he recalled, was beside them and hit him with a gun.
They made off with PhP10,000 of his money.
Maynes, he continued, even tried to sprinkle a powdery substance on his pocket, as though trying to plant drug evidence.
He managed to persuade the policeman not to go through with it.
The Counter-Intelligence Task Force has moved to ascertain if these same suspects might also have anything to do with a “hulidap” incident at Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in 2014, as well as the Jee Ick Joo case.
They shared the contact CITF numbers, in case there are other persons who might wish to give further information:
