A syndicate composed of some unscrupulous members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) could be behind the brazen killing of South Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo, PNP chief Director General Ronald \u201cBato\u201d Dela Rosa revealed on Friday.
\u201cThe picture is getting clearer and hopefully, the truth will soon come out,\u201d Dela Rosa told reporters at Camp Crame, where Jee\u2019s killing happened, in an ambush interview.
While saying he does not want to preempt the investigation, Dela Rosa still gave telling details to the media on the controversial killing of the Korean Hanjin executive that rocked the national police, tainting its image in the international community.
The incident prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to take away PNP and NBI\u2019s power to conduct operations against illegal drugs.
\u201cMagkasama sila (PNP and NBI) sa trabaho na \u2018yon. Sindikato talaga. Nag-connive mga miyembro ng dalawang ahensya. Hindi naman buong ahensya. \u2018Yung mga miyembro lang na may mga hindi magandang plano,\u201d Dela Rosa said.
(PNP and NBI conspired in the killing. It\u2019s a syndicate. The members of the two agencies connived. But not the entire agency. Only the members who have ill intention.)
Dela Rosa said Jee was an \u201cupright businessman\u201d who wanted to teach government officials extorting money from them a lesson.
He said some foreigners operating online gaming business in Pampanga, where Jee was based, regularly paid protection money to rogue NBI officials.
But, he said, Jee, who supplied manpower to online casino games, refused to pay them.
\u201cRegular na nagbibigay ng pera \u2018yung online gaming doon sa mga tiwaling opisyal ng NBI then itong si Jee Ick-joo is matino na tao. Ayaw magbigay. Gustong bigyan ng leksyon para \u2018yung ibang Koreans involved sa online gaming dyan sa may (Casino Filipino) Mimosa matakot na para magbigay. Ginamit \u2018yung si Sta. Isabel para palabasin na anti-drug operations,\u201d Dela Rosa said.
(The online gaming businesses there regularly gave money to corrupt officials of NBI then Jee Ick-joo is an upright person. He didn\u2019t want to pay. He wanted to teach a lesson so other Koreans involved in online gaming at Casino Filipino Mimosa would be scared to pay. Sta. Isabel was used to make it appear as an anti-drug operation.)<\/p>\n
