MANILA, Philippines — Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra has ordered a probe into the leakage of a Department of Justice resolution indicting former cop Eduardo Acierto and other persons that supposedly foiled the authorities manhunt on the accused. “The Office of the Prosecutor General is now doing the probe,” Guevarra told reporters in a message Friday. The arrest warrant stemmed from the multi-billion shipment of shabu, believed to be concealed magnetic lifters, that slipped past authorities last year. The STAR reported that the National Bureau of Investigation set a manhunt during the Holy Week break to implement the arrest warrant against Acierto and seven others. The report quoted an NBI official that said: “[B]ecause it came out in the media, the operation for the arrest of Acierto was foiled.
