Nicholas Kaufman, former president Rodrigo Duterte's lead counsel, admitted that the ex-leader might have to spend Christmas alone in detention at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

- By RAYMUND ANTONIO

In an interview with GMA News, the lawyer said Christmas Day and Boxing Day in the Netherlands "are official court holidays," which means there will be no visitation that could be scheduled.

“He wishes to spend Christmas with his family. Doesn't anyone want to spend Christmas? On the actual Christmas day itself, Boxing Day, these are official court holidays. No visits, unfortunately, are allowed at all,” he stated.

“However, we are going to try and change that. Because we believe that the former president should be with his family on Christmas. We will fight for that. What the court decides obviously is a different matter,” he explained.
