Kaufman: BBM is ‘real ICC prosecutor’
Former President Duterte's lead counsel, Nicholas Kaufman, accused President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of being the "real prosecutor" behind the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation against Duterte, calling it a politically motivated act orchestrated from within the Philippines.
Kaufman alleged that President Marcos Jr. used the Office of the Prosecutor as a tool for a political campaign.
Duterte was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport by state forces based on an Interpol diffusion notice and faces suspicion of murder as a crime against humanity.
Despite the arrest, Duterte and his family achieved a significant victory in the Davao City mayoral elections.
Kaufman interpreted the election results as a "finger to the eye" of those who orchestrated Duterte's situation and a rejection of their actions.
