MANILA, Philippines — Former President Rodrigo Duterte’s admission that he had bankrolled extrajudicial killings while mayor of Davao City should convince President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to let the International Criminal Court (ICC) pursue its investigation against his predecessor, the Magdalo group said on Monday.
The group led by former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV pointed out that Duterte himself disclosed in a television interview last week that he had spent his intelligence funds to carry out killings in Davao City while he was mayor.
