Citing sufficient evidence found in their preliminary investigation, state prosecutors will file next week qualified trafficking in persons charges versus disgraced former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo.
Justice Undersecretary Nicholas Felix Ty announced this development Friday in a press conference with the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) spokesperson Winston Casio.
“The preliminary investigation ruled that there’s prima facie evidence for qualified human trafficking in persons against Mayor Guo. The information was established and we will file this information before the court next week,” Ty said.
“We thank the prosecution panel who worked hard in the preliminary investigation. This case is very complicated, as you noticed, the resolution is extremely thick and contains so many details,” the DOJ added.
Prosecutor General Benedicto Malcontento already signed the documents, according to the officials.
