Palace: No confirmation yet on ICC arrest warrant for Dela Rosa, others
Malacañang has not yet received official communication regarding the issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa and other alleged co-perpetrators of former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.
Presidential staff confirmed that no such communication has been received as of Thursday.
This statement comes after Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin reportedly told Kyodo News that Dela Rosa could face arrest if the ICC were to issue a warrant.
Previous reports in March indicated that nine individuals were identified as co-perpetrators in an ICC warrant of arrest application.
Senator Dela Rosa was specifically named due to his role as the architect of "Oplan Tokhang," a key operation in the previous administration's anti-drug campaign, which he first implemented as police chief in Davao City.
