Former Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. was expected to be extradited to the Philippines after Pope Francis’ visit to Timor-Leste, an official of the Department of Justice said Saturday.At a news forum in Quezon City, DOJ spokesperson Assistant Secretary Mico Clavano, citing news reports, said that Timor-Leste President Jose Ramos-Horta wanted to send Teves back to the Philippines.“He mentioned that it will not be too long before he will go home,” Clavano said.
Topacio, however, said that this was “fake news,” noting that the stay order was denied, not the appeal.Last June, Timor-Leste’s Court of Appeals granted the Philippines' request for Teves' extradition.“I don’t think the president of Timor Leste wants him to stay any longer,” Clavano said.Teves and several others are facing murder charges in connection with the killing in 2023 of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.
