Lawyer Ferdinand Topacio on Saturday said the extradition request for former Negros Oriental lawmaker Arnolfo Teves Jr. was nullified by the Timor-Leste Supreme court – a claim that was immediately debunked by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla as “fake news.”
Remulla earlier announced that arrangements are being made with the Philippine Air Force for the “imminent” repatriation of Teves. 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 Gov. Roel Degamo and several others.
