[Title] => No evidence of chicken smuggling found against Lucio Co
[Summary] => Customs Commissioner Antonio Bernardo said yesterday that they have no evidence linking Chinese-Filipino businessman Lucio Co to the smuggling of 19 container vans full of chicken leg quarters through the Batangas City port last week.
Sen. Robert Barbers alleged during a Senate hearing yesterday that Co was behind the controversial release of the shipment, estimated at P50 million, last Jan. 23. "This Lucio Co is a notorious importer-smuggler," Barbers said, adding that he based his allegations on the information he received from Customs insiders.
