More ICC Warrants Soon? NBI Says Teams Ready to Serve Arrest Orders
NBI Director Melvin Matibag says several more personalities may soon face ICC arrest warrants, and the bureau is ready to serve them.
More personalities could soon face arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court, according to National Bureau of Investigation Director Melvin Matibag.
In a Saturday News Forum cited by GMA News, Matibag said the NBI has information that “several” more people may be issued warrants of arrest. He did not name the personalities or give a specific timetable for when the possible warrants may come out.
Matibag said the NBI is ready to serve any additional ICC warrant once it is released. He stressed that the bureau already has a protocol for enforcing warrants, regardless of who the person is or what case is involved.
The statement adds fresh attention to the ICC issue in the Philippines, a topic that has remained high-interest online because of earlier warrant developments involving former and current officials.
