Duterte was arrested at 14 o’clock on Tuesday in the Filipine’s capital Manila as a result of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). He is accused of crimes against humanity in connection with his “war on drugs,” which led to thousands of people being killed without law and judgment. Current President Ferdinand Marcos jr. Also confirmed that the aircraft has left the Philippines and that Duterte was arrested in accordance with Interpol. “I am sure the arrest was correct, correct and followed all the necessary legal procedures,” he said on Tuesday.
