The Timor-Leste Court of Appeals ’s denial of the Motion for Reconsideration filed by the camp of former Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves, Jr. seeking to bar his extradition is not true, according to his legal counsel Ferdinand Topacio.
“The press release from the Department of Justice saying that the court in Timor-Leste has decided the motion for reconsideration of Rep. Arnolfo Teves in the case for extradition against him is totally untrue,” Topacio told Manila Standard on Thursday night. Topacio said upon knowing of the said press release, he immediately contacted his counterparts in Timor-Leste for verification.
Topacio questioned the reliability of DOJ-issued information to the media such as the previous claim that warlords in Asia are protecting the expelled lawmaker.
