The Philippine National Police (PNP) said it is ready to assist the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) in serving warrants of arrest against “co-accused” of former president Rodrigo Duterte in his deadly war on drugs.

PNP spokesperson Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo said the PNP has a “template” in serving possible arrest warrants to other individuals linked to the drug war.

But, She clarified that no information has yet been given to them regarding the matter.

“Unang una, ayaw nating pangunahan ang proseso. Although alam naman natin na maliban kay dating pangulo ay may mga kasama po siya doon sa mga nakasuhan. Pero tama po kayo, since nauna na nga itong naging pag-aresto sa dating pangulo, ay more or less may template na tayo,” she said in a radio interview.

But ICC Assistant to Counsel Kristina Conti said the international court has been scrutinizing the roles of both Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa and another former PNP chief, Oscar Albayalde, in the controversial anti-drug campaign, and that arrest warrants could be issued against them as well.

Last Tuesday, the PNP led by Police Director General Rommel Francisco D. Marbil and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) Director Maj. Gen. Nicolas Torre III led the arrest and transport of Duterte to International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands.
