Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan questioned Malacañang's motive in reinstating a senior police officer who was tagged as a protector of the illegal drug trade.
"If Supt. [Marvin] Marcos was reinstated so that his alleged illegal activities could be closely monitored and a case built up against him, why then did Malacañang after such a reinstatement immediately clear him and support his version that Espinosa put up a fight inside prison?" the senator posted in his Facebook account.
"Hindi tumutugma," he added.
Criminal Investigationand Detection Group (CIDG) Region 8 Director Marvin Marcos figured in the alleged shootout in which Albuera, Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa was killed. Espinosa was detained inside the Baybay City Sub-Provincial Jail when he was shot to death.
President Rodrigo Duterte had defended the actions of the police officers involved in the shooting.
Marcos had also been tagged by suspected drug lord Kerwin Espinosa as a protector.
Kerwin Espinosa, during last week's Senate hearing, claimed that Marcos was given P3 million for his wife's election campaign.
Recently, Duterte admitted that he told Philippine National Police Director General Ronald Dela Rosa to reinstate Marcos as CIDG 8 director.
The President said he did not want the officer transferred because he was being investigated.
He added that Marcos would have to face the charges that could be filed against him.
