The Influential Person Who Asked Duterte To Return Marcos In CIDG Revealed
The influential person who pushed President Rodrigo Duterte to restore the controversial Supt. Marvin Marcos at the CIDG Region 8 was revealed.
Supt. Edilberto Leonardo, head of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Region 11 (Davao Region) based in Davao City was suspected as the missing link between the president and Supt. Marcos.
Leonardo is the one who talked to President Duterte to interrupt the case against Marcos, according to some sources from the Senate and House of the Representative.
Marcos was dismissed from his post by Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director Ronald de la Rosa due to the testimony of Kerwin Espinosa naming Leonardo as one of his protectors. Marcos is also a part of CIDG raiding team who took the life of Mayor Espinosa.
Kerwin Espinosa confessed himself as a drug lord and the son of the late Albuera, Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa, who were killed inside his jail cell due to alleged shootout but NBI announced that the Leyte mayor died in a “rubout” and not in a shootout, based on the findings of their investigation.
According to some sources, President Duterte were advised by Leonardo to stop the order of PNP chief in relieving Marcos in his post. Leonardo has a direct contact to the president and Duterte somehow listens to his advice.
Corrupt police eliminate all high-profile inmates who could point them as drug protectors in order to claim P2 million bounty reward. The influential person who contributes to Duterte’s decision was higher than the PNP chief.
PNP Chief Dela Rosa also denied that it was the president who interrupts Marcos relief on Nov.29, 2016 but the public were surprised when Duterte himself confessed that it was him who told Dela Rosa to hold Marcos’ dismissal, so the authorities can determine and to locate Marcos other illegal drug connections.
Marcos and Leonardo were classmates during their college at the Philippine National Police Academy but they didn’t graduate in the same year due to some reasons, Marcos answered the question asked by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV. The senator believes that the PNP chief has no involvement in Leonardo-Marcos CIDG connection.
“I feel for General Dela Rosa because there are [senior superintendents] here [who] are operating without the knowledge or without the knowledge of the PNP leadership, the CIDG leadership,” Trillanes said during the hearing quoted by Inquirer.
