The chief of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)-Dumaguete office, Atty. Dominador Cimfranca, has strongly denied allegations that there are agents and personnel of NBI involved as protector, operator and capitalists of the illegal numbers game, “swertres”.
Atty. Cimafranca on Friday said the NBI is a law enforcement agency that strictly enforces and apprehends those who violate the law. He said the NBI will not tolerate any member, agent or personnel involved in illegal activities.
Those found involved in illegal activities will have to face corresponding sanctions while those having committed a grave offense will face administrative and criminal cases, he added.
Cimafranca added that it cannot be avoided that unscrupulous and enterprising individuals will carry the name of the NBI as their shield while engaging in illegal activities.
He is encouraging the community to report any individual using the name of NBI as protector in illegal activities. (PNA/Maricar Aranas)
