In the Philippine STAR's #TruthOnTheLine, Editor-in-Chief Ana Marie Pamintuan sits down with Atty. Kristina Conti, Assistant to the Counsel at the International Criminal Court (ICC), to discuss the significant implications surrounding the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte. Duterte, who now faces trial for crimes against humanity, has long been a controversial figure due to his notorious drug war.
The 79-year-old Davao politician, known for his strongman image, gained international spotlight for his alleged brutal crackdown on drugs during his term. His arrest marks a historic moment as he becomes the first Asian leader to be detained by the ICC.
Duterte was apprehended by local authorities on March 11, 2025, upon his arrival at NAIA Terminal 3 from Hong Kong.
