The Senate has taken into custody the special envoy on transnational crime, who has been cited in contempt for allegedly lying about details in the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte and turnover to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

Despite former president Rodrigo Duterte already being in International Criminal Court custody, the ICC’s chief prosecutor confirmed that investigation into his administration’s brutal war on drugs is still ongoing.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) pre-trial chamber has rejected former president Rodrigo Duterte’s legal team’s request to restrict the victim verification process in its investigation into his war on drugs.

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has been given until July 1 to complete the disclosure of evidence that would be used during the hearing in September on confirmation of charges of crimes against humanity against former president Rodrigo Duterte.

The prosecution will rely upon at least 8,565 pages of written evidence, nine photos and 16 hours of footage against former President Rodrigo Duterte during the confirmation of charges hearing at the ICC.
