DOJ to work on cancellation of Roque’s passport
The Department of Justice (DOJ) will seek the cancellation of former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque's passport for qualified human trafficking.
An arrest warrant was issued for Roque in connection with the Lucky South 99 POGO firm in Porac, Pampanga.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla confirmed that the DOJ will move for the cancellation of Roque's passport to compel him to return to the country.
Roque is currently seeking asylum in The Netherlands, claiming he is a victim of political persecution.
Remulla said Roque's application for political asylum will have to be resolved first before the arrest warrant can be served against him.
The DOJ previously sought an Interpol red notice against Roque, but this is not mentioned in the new article.
