THE NATIONAL Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed another criminal complaint before the Department of Justice (DOJ) against self-confessed drug lord Roland Espinosa and other suspected kingpins in Cebu City.
Espinosa’s father, Albuera town Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr., was killed by policemen inside his prison cell in Baybay City on November 5, 2016. The politician was arrested and detained in October 5, 2016 after policemen raided his house and recovered 11 kilos of shabu and illegal weapons.
Among those facing charges were Wu Tuan Yuan alias Peter Co; Lovely Adam Impal, Melvin Gerpacio, Ryan Diaz, Reynaldo C. Diaz alias Jumbo, and Peter Go Lim.
The NBI said Espinosa started his large scale shabu trade in Cebu City in 2008 while inside the Bagong Buhay Rehabilitation Center where he was detained. His alleged suppliers were Lim, Impal and Cebu drug lord Jeffrey Diaz who was killed in a police operation in Las Piñas City in 2016.
Espinosa is currently under detention at the NBI jail while Wu Tuan Yuan is at the New Bilibid Prison. Impal is presently detained at the Iligan City Jail while Gerpacio is at the Cavite Provincial Jail.
Among the pieces of evidence presented by the NBI against those accused was the testimony of state witness Reynaldo Diaz who admitted that Espinosa's main source was his cousin Jeffrey, and Lim.
Diaz also claimed that at the peak of the Cebu drug trade from 2010 to 2011, the group was able to sell five to 10 kilos of shabu a month. Aside from Espinosa, Diaz said that Jeffrey also supplied shabu to drug dealers in the Visayas namely Rowen Sakitaria alias Yawa, Franz Sabalones, and three other men known only by their aliases Riking, Rey and Roland.
Another piece of evidence was the Securities and Exchange Commission general information sheet of Hilton Heavy Equipment Corporation which listed Peter G. Lim of San Jose dela Montana, Mabolo, Cebu City as its president and a member of the board of directors.
Espinosa also used cell phones, electronic money transfer and bank transactions in his drug trade and hired Melvin Gerpacio to distribute and collect payments in the villages of Pasil, Ermita, Ponce, Villagonzalo and Lorega in Cebu City, according to the NBI. (Benjamin Pulta)
