One of the channels being eyed is the assistance of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), said DOJ Assistant Secretary Jose Dominic F. Clavano IV.

Roque and several other accused have been ordered arrested by the Angeles City regional trial court (RTC).

Also ordered arrested were 63 other accused in the case including Dennis L. Cunanan, the former director general of the defunct Technology Resource Center (TRC), and Katherine Cassandra Li Ong, one of the officers of Lucky South 99.

The case stemmed from the alleged criminal activities of Lucky South 99, a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) in Porac, Pampanga that has been shut down by the government.
