The Bureau of Immigration confirmed on Wednesday that a barangay captain who allegedly bought seized illegal drugs from rogue policemen has left the country.
Guia Gomez Castro, an alleged "drug queen," was "recently" allowed to leave the Philippines because she had "no derogatory records," BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval said.
The Philippine National Police said it is continuing a case buildup against Castro to see if the evidence would warrant the filing of charges.
The Manila Police District was the first to identify the alleged drug queen, but the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency had initially disclosed her operations.
The anti-drug agency claimed that her activities were being protected by policemen who resell illegal drugs that were confiscated during legitimate operations.
National Capital Region Police Office chief Police Major General Guillermo Eleazar said 16 police officers were connected to Castro's alleged drug operations. —Nicole-Anne C. Lagrimas/KBK, GMA News
