CEBU CITY — The Regional Internal Affairs Service filed graft charges against nine policemen on Tuesday for failing to declare all their properties in their Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Networth (SALN).

The respondents, with the rank of police officer 2 to superintendent, are facing charges at the Office of the Ombudsman for violating Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

Another policeman was charged before the Regional Investigation and Detection and Management Bureau for his alleged involvement in illegal drugs.
