Police wanted custody of the island cops who killed Spaniard Diego Lafuente Bello in 2020 in the name of Duterte's war on drugs

“Diego loved the Philippines. He said it was a paradise,” said his father Alberto. “He wanted to raise a family here,” said his mother Pilar. “We do not intend to disobey or defy said commitment orders,” wrote Major General Romeo Caramat, head of the CIDG at the time, “ we believe, based on information gathered, the reach of drug syndicates, and personalities involved in illegal drug trade, is pervasive as it poses serious threats to the lives and limbs of those who go against them.”

The National Bureau of Investigation concluded that Diego’s case “was a staged armed encounter,” where the 32-year-old Spaniard sustained six gunshot wounds. It would also appear, based on ballistics examination, that the shooters surrounded Diego. “Instead of running away, Diego was essentially moving around them – an action that is contrary to the natural reaction of a person who flees to escape,” said the NBI in its complaint sent to prosecutors, which was affirmed.

He was also very cheeky. He put up a business that sells island merchandise and named it “Mamon.” He knew it meant bread in the Philippines, but in his language it meant “idiot.”
