Jaybee Sebastian to supply bank details, list of 'Ninja Cops' to DOJ


Convicted crime boss Jaybee Sebastian on Monday promised to give the Department of Justice (DOJ) the bank details and a list of cops connected with the illegal drug trade.

Sebastian said he was "very much willing" to give the DOJ all the bank accounts that were used in the illegal drug operations inside the New Bilibd Prison (NBP).

Sebastian was also "willing to do some research" and surrender to the department all the names of so-called "Ninja Cops," who resold illegal drugs they confiscate during operations.


He said some police officers would seize 300 kilos of shabu but only present 30 to the public and their superiors. They will then resell 270 kilos for profit.

"Ito ang tunay na dahilan kung bakit lumaganap ang droga sa Pilipinas [This is the real reason why illegal drugs spread across the Philippines]," he said at Monday's House committee hearing on the illegal drug trade inside the NBP.

Sebastian, who was appearing at the inquiry for the first time, testified that he gave at least P14 million in drug payoffs to Senator Leila De Lima in 2014.


Previous witnesses claimed that Sebastian had ordered them to sell drugs to add funds to De Lima's campaign kitty for the 2016 senatorial elections.

Sebastian stayed quiet until Monday and clarified that he never refused to testify.

"Actually hindi po totoo yan [Actually that is not true]," he said.

He even personally supplied the solicitor general information about the illegal drug trade and other anomalies inside the prison, he said.
