A Chinese man detained in a gambling center ordered takeout "drug delivery"!?

It is reported that the Philippine police found two packets of suspected drugs in the take-out lunch box, estimated to be worth 13000 pesos.

According to reports, the takeout was delivered to a closed Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) center on Williams Street in Pasai. It is reported that after receiving reports of illegal activities including sex trafficking, pig killing and cryptocurrency fraud, the authorities raided the POGO center on October 27, and Philippine police found a torture chamber in the premises.

A number of Chinese nationals are being held at the gaming center while investigations into alleged human trafficking and torture complaints are ongoing.

"The food order was examined and two packets of drugs were found with foil placed in the middle of the food," said Deputy Gilbert Cruz, executive director of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC)."

He added: "It must have been someone who bought the food and then inserted the items, they hid [the drugs], thinking that these would not be noticed because it looks like only food was delivered."

It is said that the Philippine authorities are looking for the delivery man who brought the food. At the same time, Chinese citizens designated as consignees are also required to undergo drug testing. In addition to charges of lacking a work permit in the country, he will also face charges related to illegal drugs.
