PNP mulls Interpol's help to arrest Harry Roque
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is considering seeking the assistance of Interpol to serve an arrest warrant against former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, who is facing qualified trafficking charges.
Roque is among those ordered arrested by the Angeles City Regional Trial Court Branch 118 in connection with the operations of the scam hub Lucky South 99 in Porac, Pampanga.
The PNP is coordinating with the Bureau of Immigration to trace the whereabouts of incorporator Cassandra Ong, who is also subject to an arrest warrant.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also exploring diplomatic channels to secure the return of Roque and Ong to the Philippines.
Roque had previously left the Philippines in September last year after being cited for contempt by the House of Representatives.
