MANILA, Philippines - A US court on Thursday (Friday in Manila) has granted the request of the Philippine government to extradite former police official Michael Ray Aquino in connection with the Bubby Dacer-Emmanuel Corbito double murder case.
The 24-page extradition order was issued by Judge Esther Salas of the US District Court of New Jersey in Newark.
The order junked Aquino's objections to the extradition request and said all documents submitted by the Philippine government conformed to the November 22, 1996 RP-US extradition treaty.
Aquino, a former member of the now defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) is charged with conspiring with other individuals in the investigation and murder of Dacer and Corbito more than nine years ago.
Aquino and another police official, Cezar Mancao, fled to the United States allegedly upon the instructions of Sen. Panfilo Lacson to escape prosecution. Lacson has been in hiding since January this year after being implicated in the murders.
