MANILA, Philippines — Two more ranking officials under the Duterte administration are under investigation by the International Criminal Court for their roles in carrying out the war against drugs of former president Rodrigo Duterte that resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings, an ICC official said in an interview on Wednesday.
However, his tenure was tainted by allegations of corruption and involvement in drug-related anomalies. In particular, he was accused of protecting so-called 'ninja cops'—police officers who were allegedly involved in reselling confiscated illegal drugs. This controversy led to his resignation in 2019, just weeks before his scheduled retirement. Conti also hinted at the possibility that more officials from the PNP could be implicated as the case moved forward.
