The Philippines requested the International Criminal Police Organization to issue a red notice for the arrest of former lawmaker Arnolfo Teves Jr., the Department of Justice said Saturday.
The Philippines earlier filed an extradition case against Teves in connection with the killings of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and eight other people, but the case is still under judicial review in Timor Leste. Meanwhile, Vasquez said the DOJ has not received updates on a potential ICC arrest warrant to be issued in September against former President Rodrigo Duterte.
He said any potential issuance of a red notice or arrest request by Interpol would be carefully evaluated under Philippine laws.Justice Secretary Jesus Remulla earlier said the country is duty-bound to help Interpol in case it serves an arrest warrant against Duterte and others named in the ICC probe.
