Duterte’s counsel ‘twisting facts’ on interim release
Malacañang accused former President Rodrigo Duterte's lawyer, Nicholas Kaufman, of distorting facts regarding Duterte's request for interim release from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro stated that Kaufman previously misrepresented the ICC prosecutor's stance on the interim release, which turned out to be false.
Kaufman cited remarks Castro made in a press briefing last Wednesday, which he interpreted as the Philippine government's willingness to accept a decision granting Duterte an interim release.
Castro clarified that while the Marcos administration is not involved in Duterte's trial or his plea for interim release, it will respect the ICC's final decision.
