SC urged to act on Rody, Bato ICC petitions

Following another claim that an arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Sen.

- By JANVIC MATEO

Ronald dela Rosa, his lawyer yesterday appealed to the Supreme Court (SC) to finally issue a ruling on the petition they filed following the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte in March.

Speaking on “Story-con” on One News, Israelito Torreon confirmed receiving information about the supposed ICC warrant against Dela Rosa from former presidential spokesman Harry Roque.

But he said Roque, who is seeking asylum in Europe, also received the information from a friend, making it secondhand information.

Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla had announced earlier that he has seen a copy of the arrest warrant against Dela Rosa, but declined to release it to the public.

Torreon said they are prepared and have laid out a plan in case rumors of the arrest warrant turn out to be true.

Dela Rosa has not been seen in public, and has not appeared at the Senate, since Remulla announced the existence of the supposed arrest warrant last month.
