Supreme Court says chief justice made no comment on ICC warrant
The Supreme Court has debunked social media posts falsely attributing a statement to Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo regarding an alleged International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Senator Ronald Dela Rosa.
The Supreme Court explicitly stated that the Chief Justice has not issued any statement on this issue, as confirmed by Supreme Court spokesperson Camille Ting.
These false posts surfaced after Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla claimed in a radio interview that the ICC had issued an arrest warrant for Dela Rosa in connection with the Duterte administration's war on drugs.
Neither the Department of Justice nor the Department of Foreign Affairs reported receiving any notice from Interpol regarding such a warrant.
Furthermore, the ICC spokesperson Fadi El Abdallah stated that the court could not confirm reports of a warrant against Dela Rosa, noting that official ICC news is only found on their official communication channels.
Dela Rosa's camp had also cautioned the public about the veracity of reports concerning the supposed ICC warrant.
