The son of the late vice governor Gregorio Sanchez Jr. may languish in jail for sometime once the Cebu police file charges of illegal drug possession before the Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office today.
Supt. Paul Labra II, head of the Regional Intelligence Division of the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7), said Leodegreco “Greco” Sanchez was in possession of more than five grams of shabu when collared by police in barangay Mabolo, Cebu City last Friday.
Under the Dangerous Drugs Act of the Philippines, those arrested with more than five grams of drugs cannot post bail. Greco was arrested with his friend Edward Teves.
Labra said if Greco’s family wants him to be rehabilitated, they can just file a motion in the court. But he said Greco must agree to the rehabilitation.
Chief Supt. Marcelo Garbo, Police Regional Office chief, earlier said Greco and adopted son Talisay City Mayor Socrates Fernandez have posed a threat to their immediate community and should be stopped.
Greco denied accusations by his sister, Grecylda “Gigi” Sanchez-Zaballero that he stole the family yacht and took it to the waters off the South Road Properties (SRP). /Jucell Marie P. Cuyos, Reporter with Correspondents Carmel Loise Matus and Joy Cherry Quito
