The Anti-Organized and Transnational Crime Division of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) searched the property and seized coins worth P50 million and luxury automobiles worth P100 million.
According to the NBI, the raid was the conclusion of two months of observation.
There were allegedly 11 expensive automobiles parked at the property during the observation, all without licence plates or conduction stickers, according to operatives.
The coins may have been used for unlawful gaming and money laundering, according to law enforcement. The residence was padlocked and the owners, who were not identified, were given 15 days to show that their possession of the coins and automobiles was not unlawful.
