Philippine graft agency to probe police chief’s Vegas trip for Pacquiao bout (Reuters)

The Philippines’ anti-graft agency has initiated an inquiry into whether the police chief broke the law by visiting the United States last week to watch boxer Manny Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight victory, a spokeswoman said on Friday. Roland dela Rosa, a high-profile figure in the Philippines and a close ally of President Rodrigo Duterte, could face criminal and administrative action if the ombudsman found sufficient evidence to show the Las Vegas trip with his family was not from his own pocket. “The ombudsman has ordered a fact-finding investigation on the alleged travel perks received by the national police chief,” spokeswoman Mary Rawnsle Lopez told reporters.
