The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) of the Philippines recently opened a vault inside the Central Building No. 1 in Bataan Province.
Previously, this building was described by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) as an online gambling center, which attracted widespread attention.
It is reported that the specific use of the vault has not been disclosed, but the action is part of CIDG's further investigative measures. PAOCC had earlier stated that the building might be related to online gambling activities, but there is no concrete evidence to confirm this yet.
The authorities have stated that they will conduct a thorough inspection of the items in the vault and the purpose of the building, and will strengthen the regulation of similar places. CIDG emphasized that this operation aims to combat potential illegal activities and ensure that the investigation is transparent and fair.
This incident has triggered further public and media attention to the legality of online gambling activities and their related facilities. The government has promised to take stricter measures to combat unlawful acts and has called on informants to provide relevant clues to assist the investigation.
