马尼拉市长和前菲律宾警察总监是因为对上个月的人质危机事件的处理而可能面临指控的几位高级官员之一。菲律宾总统阿基诺三世宣布了这些人的名单。他们是在星期五公布的有关8月23号人质事件的一份报告中被点名可能受到起诉的人。那次人质事件以8名香港游客丧生而告终。
阿基诺星期一表示，这份名单包括马尼拉市长林雯洛，前菲律宾警察总监韦索扎以及内政部副部长普洛。三名新闻记者也可能面临刑事或是行政上的指控。阿基诺说，他将在政府的律师对这份报告进行了审核以及他在纽约联合国大会出席一个星期的会议回国之后再决定，是否批准提出这些指控。
The mayor of Manila and a former Philippine police chief are among several top officials who could face charges over their handling of a hostage crisis last month. President Benigno Aquino III announced the names of the individuals, who were singled out for possible prosecution in a report Friday into the August 23 incident, which ended with the deaths of eight Hong Kong tourists.
Mr. Aquino said Monday the list includes Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, former national police chief Jesus Versoza and Interior Undersecretary Rico Puno. Three journalists also could face criminal or administrative charges. Mr. Aquino said he will decide whether to approve the filing of charges after government lawyers review the report and he returns from a week-long trip to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
