19 arrested over illegal notary public in QC — NBI

The National Bureau of Investigations (NBI) on Friday announced the arrest of 19 individuals for allegedly operating illegal notary public stalls in Quezon City.

According to the agency, the Special Task Force (STF) arrested the individuals during simultaneous entrapment operations on October 22, Tuesday against several stalls along Congressional Avenue, Bago Bantay.

This stemmed from the complaint filed by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines against the non-lawyers who are allegedly overseeing the operations of the notary public stalls.

The NBI conducted the operation after verifying information that led to the arrest of individuals who were performing notarial acts.

Meanwhile, these individuals were presented for inquest before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office for various violations of the Revised Penal Code. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
