Acierto: Duterte ‘protected’ Michael Yang, Lim despite report on drug involvement

Quick Summary:

FORMER Police Colonel Eduardo Acierto alleged on Thursday that former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte acted as a "protector” for suspected drug lords Michael Yang and Allan Lim (alias Lin Weixiong), who he claims were close to Duterte and evaded accountability under his protection.

Acierto’s intelligence report alleges that Yang has operated drug laboratories in Mindanao since the early 2000s, including one in Dumoy, Davao City.

Acierto was later implicated in the smuggling of P11 billion worth of drugs concealed in magnetic lifters, which were found at the Manila International Container Port and in a warehouse in Cavite in 2018.
