MANILA - Customs fixer Mark Taguba has been transferred to Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City after staying in the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation for more than a month.
Taguba, among those tagged in smuggling P6.4 billion worth of illicit drugs from China through the Manila port in May 2017, was transferred to Camp Bagong Diwa on Thursday following a court order.
This after the Philippine National Police refused to detain him at its custodial center in Camp Crame as the facility is only for "high-risk and high-profile" detainees.
Taguba was arrested by the National Bureau of Investigation in January after the Department of Justice filed drug trading charges against him and other alleged middlemen.
