Hindi kinumpirma ng International Criminal Court ang umano’y pagpapalabas ng warrant of arrest laban kay Senador Ronald Bato Dela Rosa.
Sa eksklusibong pakikipag-ugnayan ng Bombo Radyo Philippines sa tagapagsalita ng ICC na si Dr. Fadi El Abdallah, sinabi nito na makikita lamang sa mga official communication channel at press releases ang impormasyon na may kinalaman sa pagpapalabas nito ng warrant of arrest.
Kung maaalala, ibinunyag ni Office of the Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla na mayroon nang warrant of arrest laban kay Sen. Bato baga’y na itinanggi naman ng Department of Justice.
Ayon kay DOJ Spox. Polo Martinez, biniberepika pa nila ang naturang impormasyon.
“We have also not yet seen or received a copy of said arrest warrant. We shall provide further details as soon as it becomes available. Thank you.” dagdag ni Martinez.
Itinanggi rin ng legal counsel ni Dela Rosa na si Atty. Israelito Torreon sa kanyang social media post ang impormasyon ito.
“We have been made aware of circulating reports claiming that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant against Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa. At this point, we do not have independent confirmation as to whether or not this information is accurate. We therefore urge the public and the media to exercise caution and restraint in sharing or interpreting such reports until verified information is officially released by competent authorities or by the ICC itself.If proven true, we trust that the Philippine Government will act in accordance with the rule of law, and that any such action shall first pass through the proper local judicial confirmation process consistent with our Constitution, due process, and the sovereign rights of the Republic of the Philippines.” – Atty. Torreon
