Mamamayang Liberal (ML) Party-list Representative Leila de Lima issued a statement following the release of a lesser-redacted document from the International Criminal Court (ICC), which identifies Senators Bong Go and Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa as alleged co-perpetrators in former President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war. The document also names former Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre and several former top police officials as part of Duterte’s “common plan” to neutralize alleged criminals through violent means, including murder.

“In laying down the charges against Duterte, the ICC Prosecutor also just made the world smaller for his co-perpetrators by naming them. They include Bato dela Rosa, Bong Go, Vitaliano Aguirre II, and several PNP officials. Time and again, we warned this people, even from prison, that this day will come. Like Duterte, they did not listen. Mayayabang pa sila. Many of them will now go into hiding, joining Bato on the lam. No matter, Justice will always catch up with them. Justice will be served.”

De Lima further stressed: “Panahon na ng pagpapanagot sa pagpatay sa mga kapwa Pilipino! Oras na ng pagbabayad sa mga krimen laban sa sangkatauhan!”
