MANILA, Philippines — Seventeen tipsters have messaged the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) hotlines for information that authorities hope will lead to the arrest of gaming tycoon Charlie “Atong” Ang, CIDG- National Capital Region chief Col. John Guiagui said on Monday.
The CIDG set up the hotlines last Friday in an effort to track down Ang, who is wanted for kidnapping charges in connection with the disappearance of cockfighting aficionados (sabungeros).
