MANILA, Philippines – Former anti-drug cop Eduardo Acierto has resurfaced anew to once again pin former president Rodrigo Duterte and former presidential economic adviser Michael Yang.
Last month, Acierto was invited to a House panel hearing probing a massive shabu haul in Central Luzon. The hearing sought to shed light on Yang’s alleged connection to the owner of the warehouse where the shabu was seized.
In the hearing, Acierto reiterated his 2017 report that Yang was allegedly involved in illegal drugs. Acierto also retold how the former president ignored his intelligence report on Yang.
In this episode, Rappler justice and crime reporter Jairo Bolledo speaks with Acierto to discuss more about the cop’s revelations. The former anti-drug cop also shares his future plans for his intelligence report.
