Handling of cyber crime cases
By Persida Acosta
Jul 22, 2024 12:01 am

Dear PAO,

Republic Act (RA) 10175, otherwise known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, says that the NBI and the PNP shall organize a cybercrime unit or center manned by special investigators to exclusively handle cases involving violations of this Act. Does this provision mean that other investigative units or agencies — of the NBI, PNP or other agencies — are proscribed from initiating/handling a complaint involving a violation of the Cyber Crime Prevention Act?
