Roque could face deportation from Germany if passport revoked

Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque could face deportation from Germany without formal extradition proceedings if his Philippine passport is revoked.

Remulla confirmed that Roque, whose asylum application in the Netherlands was denied, is now believed to be in Germany.

The Justice Secretary mentioned that if Roque's stay becomes undocumented due to a revoked passport, authorities could act to bring him back to the Philippines.

As of now, Roque's passport has not been formally canceled, and authorities are still verifying its status.

Remulla indicated that while Roque can currently travel within the Schengen area with a valid visa, his removal could be initiated if his travel documents are invalidated.

There are no active legal proceedings against Roque in Europe at this time.
