Further, Duterte said Inquest Prosecutor Clemente Villanueva, Assistant Prosecutor Florenzo dela Cruz, Naia District Collector Ramon Anquilan, Customs Intelligence and Investigation Division Director Adzhar Albani, and Naia customs operations officer Lomontod Macabando were likewise being investigated.
He also said that a certain former mayor of Marawi City was also under investigation.
“They are all suspended for now pending investigation,” he told reporters in an interview in Malacañang on Wednesday.
Mr. Duterte said he would forward to the Ombudsman the list of officials who were under investigation.
