TWO luxury vehicles linked to resigned Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Zaldy Co were spotted in Albay amid the government’s probe of anomalous flood control projects, the Highway Patrol Group (HPG) said on Tuesday.
“Binaba ko yung operation sa mga regions now. Because as I understand, nandun na sa ibang mga regions yung mga motor vehicles. For instance, in Region 5,” HPG chief Brigadier General Hansel Marantan said in an ambush interview.
“Two weeks ago, may nakita na dalawang motor vehicles doon and still on the process of investigation. Sa Region 5, particularly, I think in Albay. If I’m not mistaken, I think one Fortuner and one Cadillac,” he added.
With this, the HPG is still locating eight more vehicles linked to Co. Authorities are investigating a total of around 24 luxury vehicles linked to Co, according to the HPG.
In November last year, the Sandiganbayan issued arrest warrants against Co and several others, including officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and directors of Sunwest Corp., over an allegedly anomalous flood control project in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro.
