Investigation into irregularities in acquisition of remote aircraft for law enforcement institution
The body tasked with overseeing the conduct of public officials has opened an inquiry against members of the financing fund and the specialised centre for combating smuggling of the law enforcement agency.
The process originated from an agreement signed in 2022 whose amount exceeded 3.7 billion pesos and which aimed to equip the institution with remotely controlled flight equipment.
The officers under examination are a colonel already retired who served as the highest authority of the financing fund; a captain who led the anti-smuggling centre; an intendant who verified the information of that centre; and a major who served as overseer of the agreement on behalf of the fund.
The inquiry seeks to establish whether errors were committed at the time of selecting the company responsible for supplying the equipment that affected the legality and normal development of the agreement.
The oversight body will analyse whether the manner in which parameters were defined to choose the contractor had deficiencies that impacted the outcome of the process.
Currently, the investigation is in its initial stage. Necessary evidence will be gathered to clarify what occurred and to determine whether it is appropriate to bring disciplinary charges against those involved.
