NBI Pursues International Help for Royina Garma
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) announced on Wednesday that it will seek the assistance of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) to ensure former Police Colonel and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) general manager Royina Garma returns to the country. The agency aims to compel Garma to face charges related to murder and frustrated murder in connection with a 2020 killing.
Authorities emphasized the urgency of bringing Garma home to answer for the serious allegations. The NBI is coordinating with Interpol to issue a notice that would facilitate her arrest and extradition, officials reported.
Details of the Case and Charges
Royina Garma has been charged with murder and frustrated murder over an incident that occurred in 2020. The charges stem from a killing that shocked the community and prompted a thorough investigation by law enforcement agencies. Community members noted the importance of holding accountable those involved in such grave offenses.
Local leaders expressed their support for the NBI’s efforts to collaborate with international partners. They believe that justice must prevail regardless of borders and that the rule of law should be upheld firmly.
Interpol’s Role in the Manhunt
Interpol serves as a vital tool for countries seeking to locate and apprehend fugitives beyond their borders. By requesting Interpol’s help, the NBI hopes to issue a Red Notice—a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest Garma pending extradition.
Officials reported that this move reflects the agency’s commitment to exhaust all legal avenues to secure Garma’s return. The NBI remains steadfast in its pursuit of justice and will continue to work closely with international counterparts.
Next Steps and Public Reaction
The NBI is preparing all necessary documentation to file with Interpol and expects the process to move swiftly. Meanwhile, the public watches closely as the case unfolds, hoping for a resolution that reinforces accountability and justice.
Community members expressed mixed emotions, ranging from relief that the investigation progresses to frustration over the delay in bringing Garma back. Yet, the prevailing sentiment supports the rule of law and the importance of due process.
As the situation develops, authorities urge anyone with relevant information to come forward to aid the investigation. They reiterate their commitment to transparency and the pursuit of justice for all parties involved.
