The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Thursday said they have not received any formal notification regarding an alleged warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go and two former Philippine National Police (PNP) officials.

Justice Secretary Frederick Vida said they have not received any formal notice, while Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said the department has not been served any official communication from the ICC on the matter.

The clarification comes after a Facebook post by Davao City First District Representative Paolo Duterte, who claimed that a “reliable source” told him a warrant had already been issued by the ICC against Go and two former police officials.

The senator has been named in previous discussions related to alleged accountability in the ICC’s investigation into crimes against humanity in connection with the anti-drug campaign during the administration of former president Rodrigo Duterte, where he was cited in some reports as a possible co-perpetrator.

As of writing, there has been no independent confirmation from the ICC regarding any warrant, and authorities said they continue to await any official communication.

Senator Go has yet to issue a public statement addressing the claim.
