Ibinalik na sa pangangalaga ng Senado si Bureau of Customs
Broker Mark Taguba matapos siyang tanggalan ng seguridad dahil sa
umano’y malaking gastos.
Inaprubahan ni Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chairman
Richard Gordon ang pagbabalik ni Taguba sa kanilang kustodiya
kasunod ng mungkahi ni Senador Panfilo Lacson.
Ani Lacson, dapat ay ibalik si Taguba sa kustodiya ng senado
sapagkat marami pang impormasyon ang maibibigay nito.
Sa naunang panayam kay Gordon, sinabi niyang may

kaya siya tinanggalan ng seguridad.
Matatandaang si Taguba ang pangunahing testigo sa
naunsiyaming anim na bilyong shabu shipment mula China.
