THE seizure of more than 990 kilograms of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) with an estimated value of P6.73 billion in Manila last October was purportedly the biggest drug haul in the country. Law enforcers responsible for it are, however, facing investigations and criminal charges over a number of irregularities that the ongoing investigations are uncovering.

Members of the anti-drug operations teams that conducted the raid expected to be rewarded for the record-breaking haul. But closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage has surfaced, showing at least three of the team members loading heavy bags into a car parked near the building that was raided.
