National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) director lawyer Nestor Mantaring sees no legal impediment to stop the extradition of former police Senior Superintendent Glenn Dumlao linked in the 2000 Salvador “Bubby” Dacer-Emmanuel Corbito double murder.

Dumlao will mostly likely to arrive this Sunday.

Mantaring said the NBI will deploy sufficient number of bureau operatives to secure Dumlao upon his return to the country.

A team from the NBI left on Tuesday night for Los Angeles, California to fetch Dumlao.
 
Lawyer Claro de Castro Jr., chief of NBI Interpol Division, and Head Agent Arnel Dalumpines, chief of Special Task Force (STF), were tasked to fetch Dumlao in Los Angeles.

The two left via Philippine Airlines (PAL) around 10 p.m.

Dumlao, who has until July 20 to file his deposition, had already submitted the affidavit before the United States (US) court, report said.

United States (US) Marshals would turn over Dumlao to NBI team at a Los Angeles airport just hours before he will be extradited to the Philippines.

Dumlao was given until July 20 to file his deposition before the US court hearing the extradition of his co-accused former police Sr. Supt. Michael Ray Aquino.

The NBI source added that their counterpart in the US law enforcement assured the NBI that the extradition will take place in just a few days after the filing of deposition.

The source said Dumlao expressed his intension to testify and is expected to corroborate with the testimony of former Sr. Supt. Cezar Mancao II.

“He will corroborate in its (Mancao’s testimony) material points,” said the NBI source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The camp of Dumlao has yet to confirm or deny the new development.

It was recalled that the request of Aquino before the US court for Mancao and Dumlao to appear before the court to testify on his (Aquino) case resulted in the delay of Mancao’s extradition to the Philippines.

A United States (US) court ordered them to file their respective deposition for former Sr. Supt. Michael Ray Aquino’s case.

While the US court gave the US authorities to proceed with the extradition of Dumlao and Mancao back to the Philippines, the two former police officers were directed to first file deposition to the court.

The same source said in an earlier interview: “The rational here is that although Mancao and Dumlao may no longer be asked to appear in court while Aquino’s case is pending, they have to file their respective deposition which is relevant to Aquino’s case,” said the same source.

Dumlao will be fetched by NBI team in Los Angeles, California.

It was recalled the NBI team arrived at 5:44 a.m. last March 23 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) via PAL flight PR 103 from Los Angeles via Guam to fetch Dumlao.

The NBI team tasked to escort Dumlao back to the Philippines arrived home empty handed after Judge Thomas Platt of the US District of Eastern District of New York ordered the stay of the extradition.

Dumlao filed with a US court a petition for writs of injunction and habeas corpus to stay his extradition.

A Federal judge recently reduced the sentence of former police Senior Superintendent Michael Ray Aquino who pleaded guilty to receiving classified U.S. government documents.

Mancao is detained at the NBI detention facility after his extradition last June 4.
