MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) arrested one of its personnel for allegedly being involved in a P500,000 “slot-for-sale” recruitment scam that promised entry into the bureau, the BFP said Tuesday.
The BFP, with the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG), arrested the suspect during an entrapment operation after a series of meetings involving money exchanges between the victim and the suspect.
