Vargas gave the PNP 24 hours to leave, return the 124 safety deposit boxes that were seized, and pay the damages incurred by Xinchuang — “lest we be constrained to file the appropriate legal actions — criminal, civil, and administrative — against you and everyone under your command and implementing your illegal orders, without any hesitation.”“The PNP is acting under the authority of valid search warrants issued by the court.
