Smuggler in religious robes deals in supercars

OUR favorite smuggler in religious robes appears to have nine lives in his nefarious racket, thanks to his deep connections that run all the way to the upper echelons of the government’s revenue raising agencies.

A Buzzard told us that one of the consistent buyers of our smuggler in robes’ high-end but competitively priced toys was a top executive of a luxury car dealer in Metro Manila.

The Buzzard said this executive had a drool-worthy supercar parked in front of his dealership’s showroom which he bought from the smuggler in robes.

The Buzzard said the executive had other exotic cars in his collection that was supplied by the smuggler in robes.

It appears to be a mutually beneficial relationship as our smuggler in robes also uses the executive’s car dealership as a front to provide legitimacy to his smuggled vehicles.

In fact, the executive was supposed to help in fixing the papers and records of some of the 14 luxury vehicles brought in by the smuggler in robes but impounded at the Batangas port two weeks ago.

Our source told us the smuggler in robes remained confident of bringing out his stash of exotic cars with the help of his two financiers, led by a jewelry merchant (with initials “DC”) and a tax receipts trader (initials “KC”) pulling the strings. Who knows? These impounded cars might be cruising as early as next week on the favored test drive routes in the La Vista-Corinthian-Acropolis Village triangle, east of the luxury car row along Edsa. -Gil Cabacungan
