ICC may issue more warrants for Duterte's drug war co-perpetrators
The International Criminal Court (ICC) may issue additional arrest warrants for co-perpetrators involved in former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.
Attorney Joel Butuyan told GMA Integrated News that the warrant of arrest could extend to individuals like Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa, who was chief of the Philippine National Police during Duterte's term.
Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV stated that any further warrants might only cover Dela Rosa, emphasizing his potential involvement as a co-perpetrator.
Malacañang has not received any official communication from Interpol about red notices for these 'co-perpetrators', according to Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro.
Victims' families are expected to testify before the ICC regarding the case against Duterte, and a counsel will be formed to represent them.
On Tuesday, authorities served a warrant of arrest for Duterte from the ICC, with his plane set to arrive in Rotterdam The Hague Airport early Wednesday morning.
