Police on Monday dared the camp of arrested communist consultant Vic Ladlad to lodge a complaint after his wife claimed that a bank card seized by officers from him last week recorded unauthorized use.
Ladlad, a consultant of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, was arrested Thursday night in Novaliches, Quezon City for illegal possession of firearms.
His wife Fides Lim said among the personal items seized from him was a Landbank Visa debit card that contained the compensation he received for the abuses he suffered during martial law.
Lim should file a formal complaint so police can request a record of the debit card's transactions from Landbank, said Quezon City police director Chief Supt. Joselito Esquivel.
"Mas maganda po iyun ibigay nila sa amin ang detalye para maimbestigahan nang todo. Nagbabalibag po sila ng alegasyon sa ere, ayaw naman mag-complaint," he told radio DZMM. (It's better if they would give us details so we can investigate this deeply. They are hurling allegations into thin air, but they do not want to file a complaint.)
Esquivel added that only firearms and documents were seized from Ladlad during the operation that was overseen by barangay officials and homeowners.
Lim, he added, previously claimed that her cellphone was stolen by officers, only to find out that the device was in her lawyer's bag.
The communist leader's wife may face charges for blocking a police car that was carrying her husband to a police camp, PNP chief Director General Oscar Albayalde earlier said.
Albayalde also maintained that there was nothing anomalous about Ladlad's arrest, after his wife claimed that police planted evidence in their home.
