Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Sunday denied suggestions that he was shielding former President Rodrigo Duterte from the reopened International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation into his bloody war on drugs. READ MORE:
“We are not covering up for anyone here. If the ICC has evidence they want to share with us that would help in the investigation, why not? Why do they need to try it in their court? We have our own court here,” Remulla said, in a TV interview.
“I don’t talk to them about those things. We are handling the justice system the way it should be handled,” Remulla said. Dela Rosa, who is a co-respondent of the former president, said it was Duterte’s opponents who brought the cases before the ICC. Remulla said the new administration wants to put an end to small-time buy-bust operations and refocus on big-time drug suppliers.
