Rodrigo Duterte not deprived of counsel, food, medicine when arrested — CIDG Chief
Veronica "Kitty" Duterte alleged that authorities denied her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, adequate medical attention following his arrest, claiming they were "illegally detained."
She shared a physician's note indicating his glucose level had risen to 328, with a doctor advising hospital admission.
However, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) chief Police General Major General Nicolas Torre III denied these claims on Thursday, stating that Duterte was not deprived of legal counsel, food, or medicine.
Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro had previously denied Kitty's allegations, affirming that the former president was accompanied by medical staff and treated appropriately.
Former President Duterte was taken into custody after an international arrest warrant was issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity.
The ICC ordered his arrest in connection with killings during the past administration's war on drugs.
