PAOCC to AMLC: Freeze Porac-based POGO hub’s assets

MONKEY business has no room in the country, says the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission following the issuance of a memorandum directing the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) to freeze all assets of the scam farm that was raided in Porac, Pampanga

In a memorandum signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin in his capacity as PAOCC chair, AMLC Executive Director Matthew David was told to secure clearance from an appropriate court to preserve all assets of the Lucky South 99 Outsourcing Incorporated in relation to the horrifying activities that were discovered by authorities.

The memorandum specifically mentioned all 46 buildings within the compound located in Porac, Pampanga as well as vehicles parked within the vicinity.

“For your appropriate action pursuant to existing laws, rules and regulations,” reads part of the memorandum.

Relatedly, Bersamin likewise ordered Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla and Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco to facilitate the deportation of 156 foreign nationals arrested and billeted inside a detention facility in Pasay following the raid.

Bersamin noted in the memorandum that a total of 156 foreign nationals apprehended during the Porac raid will be subjected to deportation proceedings.

However, the deportation does now include those who were indicted of criminal liabilities – “This shall not in any way cover the individuals identified and recommended for criminal prosecution by concerned law enforcement agencies.” (ANGEL F. JOSE)
