The license of the controversial AK-47 assault rifle issued to presidential political adviser Ronald Llamas has been revoked, a police official said Thursday.
Philippine National Police spokesman Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz Jr. said the license has been recalled because the gun has been subject of an ongoing investigation.
Cruz said the gun will be surrendered to the Quezon City Police District anytime Thursday, adding that criminal charges will be filled against four security aides of Llamas.
While Llamas was out of the country, his aides were caught last week carrying an AK-47 assault rifle registered in his name.
Earlier reports said Llamas admitted the gun was issued to him upon his request due to threats to his life. — LBG
