INATASAN ng Department of Interior and Local Government sa National Police na magsagawa ng malawakang operasyon laban sa ilegal na e-sabong matapos mapaulat ang sunod-sunod na operasyon ng online sabong sa kabila ng direktiba ni Pangulong Duterte na ihinto ito.
“DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año has directed the PNP Directorate for Operations, the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group and all PNP units nationwide to put a stop to these illegal e-Sabong operations that reportedly sprouted after the President shut down the PAGCOR-licensed operators,” ayon kay Interior Undersecretary and Spokesperson Jonathan Malaya.
Ayon kay Malaya, may pitong outfit ang nagsasagawa ng operation sa kabila ng walang prangkisa o lisensiya.
“These illegal e-Sabong outfits are operating without licenses or franchises from the national or local governments and are not remitting a single peso in revenue to the state,” dagdag pa nito.
Hiniling ni Malaya sa publiko na tumulong para masugpo ang ilegal na opersyon ng online sabong.
“We urge the public to immediately contact your nearest police station if you know where the studios of these illegal e-Sabong operations are so we can put a stop to it. If you also know who the operators are, please contact your nearest police station or CIDG office.”
Kasabay nito, pinaalalahanan ni Malaya ang publiko na wag sumubok na tumaya sa mga online sabong na walang pahintulot ng gobyerno.
“Dahil illegal po ito, hindi n’yo po alam kung saan napupunta ang inyong pera or kung may dayaan.”
