Supreme Court denies Dela Rosa's bid to compel release of ICC warrant
The Supreme Court denied Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa's urgent motion to compel Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla to produce an alleged arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Dela Rosa had also asked the court to direct Remulla to explain how, from whom, when, and under what authority he obtained the alleged document, following Remulla's earlier announcement of the ICC warrant against the senator.
The SC denied Dela Rosa's "very urgent motion" seeking to compel the production of the supposed ICC document.
The Supreme Court directed government respondents in Dela Rosa's manifestation to file their comment within 10 days.
The filing also alleged that the Department of Justice (DOJ) placed at least three witnesses under the Witness Protection Program at the ICC's request.
