Rose Nono Lin denies husband's links to illegal drugs
THE wife of businessman Lin Wei Xiong has denied that her husband is a high-profile drug personality, as a former police official claims. Rose Nono Lin said her husband is not the drug lord Allan Lim, as alleged by dismissed police colonel Eduardo Acierto. Lin said the allegations were based on unverified information, which Acierto included in his 2019 report to then-Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Oscar Albayalde and then-Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director general Aaron Aquino. Acierto said an informant had linked Lin Wei Xiong, who was referred to in the report as Allan Lim, to Michael Yang, a former adviser of former president Rodrigo Duterte who has been implicated in the illegal drug trade. Nono Lin challenged Acierto to file charges in court "so that we could respond accordingly to the false accusation against my husband." She also assured the House quad committee of her continued cooperation in its ongoing inquiry into Duterte's controversial war on drugs. "My husband is being accused of something that he is not. He is a legitimate businessman," she said. "My husband's name is Lin Wei Xiong," she said, adding that he also uses the name "Jeffrey, but not Allan." Nono Lin said she and her husband have been married for the last 11 years and that she knows nothing about the other names attributed to him. She also denied that her husband is hiding in Dubai, saying they met on Nov. 1 in Hong Kong, where he supervises some of their businesses. Nono Lin also made the same clarification when she was invited by the quad committee during its hearing, where Acierto testified via Zoom. In the same hearing, former PDEA chief Wilkins Villanueva testified that the Allan Lim being linked to illegal drugs is not the same person.
