LTO staff nabbed for 'fixing,' extortion

A LAND Transportation Office (LTO) employee in Iloilo was arrested in an entrapment operation for reportedly conducting 'fixing' activities.

LTO chief Assistant Secretary Jose Arturo 'Jay Art' Tugade said on Wednesday that LTO Region 6 (Western Visayas) received complaints that an employee at the LTO Guimbal Extension Office in Iloilo has been promising to 'fix' LTO transactions of clients, from renewal of registration, license transactions, and even payment of fines and penalties for traffic violations for a fee but keeps the money and does not complete the transaction.
