Boying mum on ICC arrest of Bato
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that no arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, emphasizing that "until we see the arrest warrant and then there's none."
Remulla remained silent on the possibility of a surprise ICC arrest for Dela Rosa, similar to the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte under an Interpol alert, and stated that contingency plans have not yet been discussed.
This follows former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV's claim that ICC arrest warrants could be issued early next year for Dela Rosa and Senator Christopher "Bong" Go.
Trillanes indicated that two warrants are expected from the ICC, one for Dela Rosa and another for Go.
Dela Rosa, a former Philippine National Police chief and architect of the war on drugs, could face arrest abroad if an ICC order triggers an Interpol enforcement.
The prospect of becoming an international pariah looms large for Dela Rosa.
