Rodrigo Duterte is in custody in The Hague for crimes against humanity trial
![]() 1284 Wednesday, 12 March, 2025, 22:52 Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte landed in the Netherlands Wednesday and was taken into custody at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where he will face charges of crimes against humanity. Duterte's successor and political rival, current president Ferdinand Marcos Jr., announced Duterte's arrest late Tuesday in the Philippine capital Manila. Duterte is accused of crimes against humanity, linked to multiple extrajudicial killings carried out during his time in office as he sought to stamp out the country's drug trade — using often brutal tactics that the former president once celebrated. Marcos — whose own father ran the country as an increasingly authoritarian leader from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s — said that an arrest warrant from the ICC prompted an Interpol red notice, which in turn obliged Philippine police to arrest Duterte when he landed in Manila on a flight from Hong Kong. |
