DOJ, PNP deny helping ICC get evidence vs. Duterte
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla and Philippine National Police chief General Rommel Marbil denied assisting International Criminal Court (ICC) personnel who allegedly entered the Philippines in late 2024 to gather information on the drug war killings.
Senator Imee Marcos presented a list of individuals, including Maya Destura Brackeen, William Rosato, Amir John Kassam, and Glenn Roderick Thomas Kala, who reportedly entered the country.
Remulla stated that the Department of Justice (DOJ) did not assist the alleged ICC personnel and was not informed of their entry or activities.
He suggested that civil society organizations or House of Representatives hearings might have been sources of information for the ICC.
Marcos expressed disbelief, suggesting that police precincts would not readily provide documents to foreign nationals.
The Senate committee investigation also touched upon the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
