“The ICC investigators have already directly communicated with more than 50 active and former PNP officials regarding their being implicated in the crimes against humanity case of Rodrigo Duterte,” Trillanes said in a post on X.
Police officials would face dire consequences should they refuse to cooperate with ICC investigators looking into the alleged human rights abuses in the course of Duterte’s brutal crackdown on illegal drugs, according to the former senator and Navy officer.
“Their status would be elevated to being suspects and, therefore, would result to travel restrictions initially and eventually arrest via Interpol," he said.
Over 6,000 drug suspects were killed in alleged shootouts with lawmen during Duterte's term, based on government records.
Sought for comment, PNP chief information officer Col. Jean Fajardo did not confirm or deny that ICC probers have talked with some police officers.
She said the PNP is aware of the investigations related to the anti-drug campaign during Duterte's presidency, but said they are taking their cue from the national government, which stated the country has a working judicial system.
