MALACANANG has yet to receive any information from the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) regarding potential arrest warrants for former president Rodrigo Duterte’s co-accused in the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation into his controversial war on drugs.
In a press briefing on Wednesday, Palace Press Officer and Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro said if ever arrest warrants were issued against the co-accused, the government would respond in the same manner as it did with Duterte’s arrest.
“As of now, wala po kaming nare-receive na information kung meron pa pong darating na warrant of arrest through the Interpol,” Castro said.
“Kung meron man po, ganun pa rin po ang magiging tugon namin. Kapag hiningi po ang koordinasyon ng administrasyon, tutugon pa rin po tayo.”
Duterte was arrested Tuesday morning after he arrived from Hong Kong.
A plane carrying Duterte later departed Manila en route to The Hague, Netherlands where he is set to face the charges filed against him in connection with his war on drugs. (PNA)
