(Eagle News) — Three employees of the Department of Justice have been sacked after they were found to have been involved in the anomalous processing of visas at the Bureau of Immigration.
The BI also issued a lookout order against Cyrus V. Morata, Abvic Ryan Maghirang and Shigred A. Ericbuagas, who have since confessed, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre said.
“Upon being informed of the discovery of these anomalies, I immediately tasked the NBI to investigate and to eventually file the necessary charges against them,” Aguirre added in a statement.
He said he expects a “thorough and in-depth” investigation.
“Once again, I call on everyone serving the DOJ, if you are corrupt, get out! This is not the place for you and we will get you. We will not tolerate any act of corruption especially in our own backyard,” Aguirre said. Moira Encina, Eagle News Service
