Ombudsman confirms seeing ICC arrest warrant for Dela Rosa

Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla confirmed he has seen a copy of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa.

However, the Philippine government, including the DOJ and DILG, has stated it has not officially received a copy of the warrant.

Senator Dela Rosa's lawyer, Israelito Torreon, appealed to the Supreme Court (SC) to rule on their petition following the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

Torreon stated that he received information about the supposed ICC warrant against Dela Rosa from former presidential spokesman Harry Roque, who is seeking asylum in Europe.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) stated that they have no information on Dela Rosa's whereabouts and that there is currently no basis for his arrest.

Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV previously noted that Dela Rosa and four other high-ranking ex-police officials have been tagged as suspects in the ICC probe into Duterte's war on drugs for a crimes against humanity case.
