PNP ready to help Interpol serve ICC arrest warrants

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is prepared to assist the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) in apprehending individuals facing arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court (ICC).

PNP spokesperson Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo stated that the PNP has developed a template for serving arrest warrants.

On March 11, Philippine authorities, with the PNP in a support role to the Philippine Center for Transnational Crime, assisted Interpol in serving an ICC arrest warrant against former President Rodrigo Duterte.

PNP public information office chief Police Colonel Randulf Tuaño reiterated that as a member of Interpol, the PNP is duty-bound to cooperate and would extend the same procedure if asked for assistance.

Tuaño mentioned that the PNP has not received any information regarding potential new arrest warrants against the co-accused of former President Duterte.

Senator Imee Marcos, as chairperson of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, is set to hold a probe into Duterte's arrest on March 20, an issue that has deeply divided the nation.

Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa remains one of the subjects of the ICC probe, and Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero has stated Dela Rosa may remain in Senate premises until he exhausts legal remedies.
