Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said on Monday that arrangements are being made with the Philippine Air Force for the “imminent” repatriation of former Negros Oriental lawmaker Arnolfo Teves Jr. to the Philippines.“It will be an Air Force airplane. We have an agreement that the airplane to be used will come from the air force,” he said in Pilipino.
Teves is facing 10 counts of murder, 12 counts of frustrated murder, and four counts of attempted murder before the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 51 over the March 4, 2023 shootings in Pamplona, Negros Oriental that led to the killing of Governor Roel Degamo and several others. He fled to Dili, Timor-Leste, and applied for political asylum but was arrested in March this year while playing golf and subsequently placed under house arrest.
On June 27, the DOJ said the Court of Appeals of Timor-Leste granted the Philippines’ request for Teves’ extradition.
