'ICC arrest for Rody, VP Sara expected'

Trillanes told "Storycon" on One News yesterday that he has been in touch with ICC representatives since its preliminary examination, during the conduct of the investigation, and up to the junking of Duterte's appeal.

"The warrant will be released late second quarter, so we can say middle of the year, maybe June or July, that will actually happen. So it is a waiting game at this point," Trillanes said.

"Based on the information gathered, this warrant of arrest would come in batches. The first batch is only (for) one, only Duterte, the father. The second (batch) is for the (other) principal actors, as far as I know," Trillanes added.

Apart from Duterte and his daughter, among the other personalities reportedly investigated by the ICC in connection with the brutal crackdown on the drug menace are his "tokhang" enforcer Sen. Ronald de la Rosa and former aide Sen. Bong Go.

Trillanes stressed that he was not just a “marites” or rumor-monger but he has been in touch with the ICC since 2017.
