Customs broker Mark Taguba on Monday mentioned the name of Davao City vice mayor Paolo Duterte during the resumption of the House inquiry into the P6.4-billion worth of shabu illegally transported into the country.
According to a report by radio dzBB's Rowena Salvacion, Taguba said that the Vice Mayor, the eldest son of President Rodrigo Duterte, is being "name-dropped" by individuals the broker had previously tagged as receiving P27,000 bribe or "grease money" from him, namely "Tita Nani," "Jack," and "Small."
Taguba noted, though, that he had never talked to nor met Vice Mayor Duterte before.
The House Committee on Dangerous Drugs has given legislative immunity to Taguba in order for him to disclose his knowledge on the alleged anomalous transactions and corruption at the BOC.
The Customs broker brought up Duterte's name as part of a group of individuals involved in the transactions of the BOC in Davao City called the "Davao Group."
Taguba clarified that this was only a rumor at the BOC and he has no concrete evidence as to its veracity.
