MANILA: Former president Rodrigo Duterte (pic), once the Philippines’ firebrand leader, is now under custody after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for crimes against humanity over the brutal drug war that defined his presidency.
The tribunal sought the assistance from global police force Interpol to enforce the arrest warrant, which was served as soon as Duterte landed in Manila on March 11 after a campaign event in Hong Kong with his political party’s senatorial candidates held a day prior.
