MANILA: The Philippines´ anti-graft agency ordered on Friday the filing of criminal charges against former president Benig** Aqui** over a botched raid two years ago on a militant hideout that led to the deaths of 44 police commandos.
The mission to arrest two al-Qaeda-linked militants on the southern island of Mindanao went disastrously wrong when police Special Action Force commandos were ambushed and outnumbered by rebel gunmen, in what was the biggest crisis of Aqui**´s 2010-2016 presidency.
Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales said Aqui** should be indicted because he allowed his suspended police chief, Alan Purisima, to be involved in the planning and execution of the January 2015 raid in Mamasapa**, Maguinda** province.
"There is ** gainsaying that President Aqui** was fully aware that the ****** of the Ombudsman had placed Purisima under preventive suspension at that time," Carpio Morales said in a statement.
"A public ******r who is under preventive suspension in barred from performing any public functions and from meddling into the affairs of the government," Carpio Morales said of Purisima, who was serving a suspension over corruption allegations.
The Mamasapa** massacre also dealt a blow to Aqui**´s vaunted peace efforts with separatists of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, which had agreed to disarm in return for self-rule over predominantly Muslim parts of Mindanao.
A bill to establish that was subsequently rejected by Congress and has, according to experts, contributed to mistrust, disillusionment and insecurity in a region where Islamic State´s ideology has started to gain traction.
