PAOCC Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz, in an interview with “Storycon” on One News, said owners of the corporation that owns the raided house in Tuba, Benguet may face charges for harboring a criminal.
Two foreigners were arrested during the raid conducted by PAOCC on the house owned by PH2 Corp., which Roque confirmed to have interests in.
One of those arrested was later reported to have been on Interpol’s red notice list over a financial fraud case in China.
“Former spokesperson Harry Roque… will be part of our investigation being conducted by PAOCC,” Cruz said.
“He said that there is a lessee and lessor contract between (the company) and those who were arrested, so that has to be explained,” he added.
Lack of knowledge of the fugitive’s status is not an excuse for anyone to be excluded from their investigation, Cruz said. “A case has to be filed… explain it before the court,” he noted.
In an earlier statement, Roque said officers and stockholders of PH2 Corp. will fully cooperate with the investigation.
“We apologize specifically to the Chinese authorities that a person whom we did not know to be a fugitive in their country took residence in the leased property,” he said.
Roque said PH2 entered into a lease contract on Jan. 15 with Wan Yun, who identified herself as a single Chinese national.
“Unfortunately, we were unaware that Ms. Wan Yun has a male partner who has evaded arrest in China. We will never allow our properties to be leased by any Filipino or foreign fugitive from justice,” he added.
Roque said the lease contract was terminated in July.
