Atong Ang's 17 co-accused now in police custodyBusinessman Charlie "Atong" Ang, accompanied by his lawyer Lorna Kapunan, files criminal charges before the Mandaluyong City Prosecutor's Office on July 3, 2025 against Julie "Dondon" Patidongan and Alan Bantiles for accusations related to the case of "missing sabungeros." Earlier, CIDG Director Robert Alexander Morico II said that 15 of Ang’s co-accused are in CIDG custody. Cruz, Laguna Regional Trial Court issued a warrant of arrest against Ang and his co-accused. The six civilians, according to CIDG Director Robert Morico II, are Ang's former security personnel at his cockfight arena.
