Si Zaldy Co ibibigay muna sa CIDG bago Sandiganbayan

Iibigay muna sa Criminal Investigation and Detection Group si dating kongresista Zaldy Co bago sa Sandiganbayan kapag dumating na siya sa Pilipinas, ayon sa Philippine National Police. Wala pang eksaktong petsa ng kanyang pagbabalik mula sa pagkakadeten sa Prag, Czech Republic. Nagpahayag na si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ng suporta sa koordinasyon ng mga ahensya.

Sa press briefing noong Lunes, Abril 20, sinabi ng PNP spokesperson na si Randulf Tuaño na hawak pa rin ni Zaldy Co ng mga awtoridad sa Czech Republic.

Pagdating sa bansa, ipapasa siya ng Department of Foreign Affairs sa CIDG para sa medical at booking procedures. Pagkatapos, ihahatid sa anti-graft court upang matukoy ang detention facility.

"Handang-handa na po ang Philippine National Police sa pagdating niya sa Pilipinas," pahayag ni Tuaño.

Sa video message, sinabi ni Pangulong Marcos na inutusan niya ang Department of Justice at DFA na mag-coordinate sa Czech authorities. Noong Abril 16, inanunsyo niya na dinetain si Co sa Prag matapos mag-cross ng border nang walang tamang dokumento. Si Co ay nagtatago mula pa noong kalagitnaan ng 2025 dahil sa warrant noong Nobyembre 2025 kaugnay ng P289.5 milyong flood control project sa Oriental Mindoro.
