Wrongz yet again

Pretty sad when a country like the Phillipines has its shit together 1000x more than America.

Former Philippine President Duterte arrested and shipped off to The Hague


Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is now in the custody of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Netherlands following his dramatic arrest in Manila the day before over a brutal, years-long anti-drugs crackdown that left thousands of his citizens dead.

Duterte was placed on a flight late on Tuesday, the current government said, and arrived in the Netherlands, where the ICC is located, on Wednesday.


In a Wednesday statement, the ICC said the former president was "surrendered" to its custody, and a hearing would be scheduled in "due course." Earlier in the day, it told CNN that Duterte would not be in court at The Hague on Wednesday and that it is unclear when he will make his first court appearance.

Duterte, 79, was taken into custody at the main airport in the capital Manila after returning to the Philippines from Hong Kong on Tuesday, charged with crimes against humanity. The ICC on Tuesday confirmed it had issued an arrest warrant for Duterte on "charges of the crime of murder as a crime against humanity," for actions it alleges were committed between November 1, 2011, and March 16, 2019. CNN has reached out to Interpol for comment.

Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., Duterte's successor as president, said he had received the Interpol notice for Duterte's arrest warrant at 3 a.m. local time.

"Interpol asked for help and we obliged because we have commitments to the Interpol which we have to fulfill," Marcos told a press conference Tuesday night.
