Marbil defends NCRPO, ACG over POGO raid

November 04, 2024

A day after the spokesman for the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) branded as "flawed" a raid on a suspected Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) hub in Manila, Philippine National Police chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil defended the PNP units that spearheaded the operation.

Marbil commended the Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) and the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) for their "successful" operation, which dismantled what he described as the "mother of all scam hubs" located in a 40-story building at the corner of Adriatico and Sta. Monica streets.

Sixty-nine foreigners were rounded up during the raid on Tuesday.

Marbil said the raid was conducted based on validated intelligence that the building had turned into a hub for POGO operations, harboring hundreds of people, including foreigners, involved in illegal activities.

"This operation is a testament to the dedication of our PNP-ACG personnel, whose relentless pursuit of justice has exposed and disrupted a hub of criminal activities linked to online scams, illegal gambling and human trafficking," Marbil said in a statement.
