The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) has subpoenaed several figures and documents as part of its reinvestigation into the 2020 murder of then-Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) board secretary Wesley Barayuga ), the Philippine National Police (PNP) announced Monday. .

During a press briefing, PNP spokesperson Brigadier General Jean Fajardo said she believed in these individuals, whom she did not name, and in documents that could shed more light on this matter.

“Meron pong mga inisyuhan po, nagpadala po ng padala ng ng ang CIDG summons to certain particular people, without naming them, who they believe could in one way or another shed light on this matter,” a Fajardo said.

(The CIDG has sent subpoenas to some people they believe could shed more light on this case.)

“And of course, some documents have also been subpoenaed by the CIDG because we believe that these figures and documents would somehow corroborate the na tinitignan po natin theory (that we are looking at) regarding this matter,” she added.

When asked if these people were also police officers like those initially linked to the case, Fajardo replied, “Hindi po (No).”

Barayuga was shot dead by a gunman riding a motorcycle on July 30, 2020 while riding in a PCSO-issued car in Mandaluyong City. His driver was injured but survived the incident.

CCTV footage showed the gunman standing next to the official government vehicle and shooting the PCSO official through the passenger side window.

The case was once again in the spotlight following revelations made during a hearing of the House Quad Committee, which is investigating killings linked to the Duterte administration’s war on drugs.

Barayuga’s widow and driver are expected to file charges of murder and frustrated murder against those mentioned in the congressional hearing, among them former National Police Commission commissioner Edilberto Leonardo, former PCSO director general Royina Garma, Lt. Col. Santie Mendoza, police officer Nelson Mariano and an alias Loloy, the alleged gunman hired for the murder job. .

Garma and Leonardo allegedly ordered the murder, while Mendoza and Mariano searched for the hitman.

Also included in the complaint will be PCSO Staff Sergeant Jeremy Causapin, aka Toks, who allegedly delivered Garma’s payment. —KBK, GMA Integrated News
