NBI, FBI trace Aquino accomplices

Law enforcement agencies in the Philippines and the United States have launched a joint investigation aimed at tracing the recipients of classified US government documents stolen by former police Senior Superintendent Michael Ray Aquino and an FBI intelligence analyst, abs-cbnNEWS.com learned Tuesday.

The joint investigation will be headed by the National Bureau of Investigation and its US counterpart, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco, in an interview with ANC, said FBI representatives from the US embassy in Manila have confirmed the arrest of Aquino and Leandro Aragoncillo, a Filipino-American, on the "high crime of espionage" in New Jersey.

The US Attorney's Office on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) filed charges of conspiracy against Aquino, a former top-ranking official of the defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force, and Aragoncillo for allegedly stealing and passing classified information about the Philippine government.

3 RP govt execs linked to Michael Ray face FBI raps

Three Philippine government officials will also be charged in connection with Michael Ray Aquino's arrest for allegedly stealing classified information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) official said Tuesday.

Lawyer Ricardo Diaz, chief of the NBI-International Police, told ANC that one of the three is a high-ranking government official and the other two are on the secondary level.

He said he got the information from an FBI agent assigned to Manila.

Diaz said the FBI agent declined to give him names.

The Interpol chief added that the charges may be filed "in just a matter of days."

He said they are in constant coordination with the FBI regarding the case.

Meanwhile, Sen. Panfilo Lacson denied having received any classified information from Aquino.

In a faxed press statement, Lacson said: "I don't recall having received any information sensitive to the US government."

He said the pieces of information he received from Aquino "were largely news that everyone has read and heard in our local media."

Lacson added: "Neither would the information gathered by Ninoy Aquino be worth even an American penny."

LOLZ .... well ma afford oi , how much more ang insider na PINOY ra pod ( ARAGONCILLO ) , pwede nato na ma storya in PESOS lang partner ...hehehe .....

i dunno if this issue can even get into Lacson's nerve..salig man gud cya sa iyahang immunity pagka senador..but we'll see nalang coz Wycoco will do everything to bring him down..mortal enemies kaayo ni sila..

[giver_bert]

uhhmm.. all are just speculations since FBI haven't disclosed the names of whoever are the recipients..

senator lacson's preemptive move though has somehow given me an impression of his possible connection to this issue.. defensive ra kaayo siya.. or perhaps extra paranoid lang?
