Oscar Albayalde resigned in October after serving as Philippine police chief for more than a year, having presided over an anti-narcotics crackdown that left thousands of drug suspects dead.
The justice department said prosecutors found"probable cause" to charge Albayalde for not punishing officers accused of failing to account for 163kg of drugs and 9.7 million pesos sized from a drug raid.
