The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed that it has not received any official communication from the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding an alleged arrest warrant against Senator Christopher 'Bong' Go.
DOJ Spokesperson Denies Receipt of Warrant
DOJ Spokesperson Atty. Polo Martinez denied having any information about an ICC arrest warrant issued against Senator Bong Go. He stated that verification was conducted with the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime (PCTC) as of 10:00 AM today.
Background of the Claim
The DOJ's clarification came after Davao City Representative Paolo 'Pulong' Duterte claimed that ICC warrants had been issued against Senator Bong Go and others, based on what he said was reliable information.
Senator Go is among those named as a co-perpetrator along with former President Rodrigo Duterte in a case of crimes against humanity before the ICC, related to the implementation of the 'war on drugs' campaign.
