Olongapo police seize smuggled Porsche
Authorities have seized a smuggled luxury sports car allegedly owned by controversial former election official Virgilio Garcillano in Olongapo City Friday dawn but two more luxury cars had escaped a police checkpoint.
The joint team of Olongapo police and Land Transportation Office confiscated a black Porsche convertible sports car (plate number ZHA-798) worth P5 million.
Senior Superintendent Abelardo Villacorta, director of Olongapo City Police Office, said the car was being driven by 19-year old Karlo Geneta, a Quezon City resident, who presented allegedly fake documents to the authorities.
Villacorta said the luxury vehicle was intercepted around 1 a.m. in a checkpoint set up along the national highway in Barangay Old Cabalan. He said the vehicle has been imported early this month from the United States by Global (Subic) International Inc., a registered company inside Subic Bay Freeport Zone and owned by Louie Moloa.
Villacorta said during interrogation the driver admitted that Garcillano allegedly owned the smuggled vehicle.
Authorities also arrested security guard Pablito Merez after he allegedly tried to bribe a police officer worth P80,000 to drop the case against Geneta.
Merez told ABS-CBN News that a certain Bert, an alleged personal driver and bodyguard of Subic Customs collector Marietta Zamoranos, had purportedly asked him to offer the bribe.
Zamoranos is Garcillano’s first cousin, the report said.
