| Subject: Philippine's poLICE extort laptops from tourist in statist scam Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:11 pm | |
| Five Philippine policemen forced a German tourist to buy them laptop computers by threatening him with false drug and terrorism charges, a police chief said yesterday.
The incident, which took place in Manila's upscale financial district of Makati, is the latest embarrassment for the country's police force.
Makati police chief Senior Superintendent Froilan Bonifacio expressed outrage and said the accused policemen may have carried out similar extortion scams in the past.
"I'm not just shocked. I'm angry, for God's sake. Maybe they have been doing this thing for years," Bonifacio said.
The five policemen approached the German tourist at a Makati shopping mall on January 29 and initially accused him of buying counterfeit goods. When he denied this, they accused him of illegal drug possession, Bonifacio said.
