Zaldy Co nag-apply ng asylum sa France

Kinumpirma ni Interior and Local Government Sec Jonvic Remulla na nasa Bansa France ang pugante si dating AKO Bicol Partylist Zaldy at nag-apply ng asylum.
Ayon kay Remulla, layunin ng kanyang pagtungo sa Bansa France upang ipaliwanag kung bakit hindi dapat na mabigyan ng asylum si Co at maibalik ng bansa.
“Yes as per latest report he is still there. He is seeking asylum and my job there is to convince our counterparts that after stealing $1 billion from a very poor country like the Philippines he does not deserve asylum and he needs to be brought back to the Philippines,” ani Remulla.
Sinabi ni Remulla na nakikipag-ugnayan na sa mga authority sa France para sa koordinasyon ng kanyang pagbisita sa nasabing bansa.
“We are in contact but it will be in the next 10 days. So kapag na set ko na lahat ng appointments I will announce it to you and I will update you,” pahayag ni Remulla.
Aniya, mayroon nang inilabas na Red Notice laban kay Co at nais lang umano niya ito i-follow-up.
Nahaharap si Co sa kasong plunder kaungay ng P289 million flood control project sa Oriental Mindoro at P7.44 Billion mga kickback sa iba’t- ibang government project mula 2022 hanggang 2025.
