Ex-PBA star Dennis Espino arrested over illegal detention raps
MANILA, Philippines — Former PBA star Dennis Espino has been arrested on illegal detention charges after an eight-month hunt by police.
Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Director Samuel Pagdilao Jr. said Espino, 38, said a team from the Women and Children Protection Division led by Chief Inspector Fernando Cunanan Jr. caught up with Espino at his brother’s office in Barangay Tabun, Mabalacat, Pampanga on November 29.
The case against Espino was filed by Mildred Eiman, former secretary at his piggery, Northline Farms in Arayat, Pampanga, who accused him of detaining her for more than a month for failing to pay a debt of P5,000.
The arresting team served Espino a warrant issued by Judge Mary Anne Pardon-Rivera of San Fernando, Pampanga Regional Trial Court branch 46, who recommended no bail for the former cager.
Cunanan explained that Espino’s political influence — Arayat Mayor Luis Espino is a cousin — allowed him to elude arrest for so long.
