THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said it would allow Timor-Leste to wrap up all its legal proceedings in connection with the arrest former Negros Oriental congressman and designated terrorist Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr.

THE National Bureau of Investigation said it would allow Timor-Leste to wrap up all its legal proceedings in connection with the arrest former Negros Oriental congressman and designated terrorist Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. before pushing for his repatriation to the country to face trial for multiple murder charges in connection with the killing of Negros Oriental Gov Roel Degamo and nine others in March 2023.

This, despite Assistant Secretary Jose Dominic F. Clavano IV’s earlier assurance that Teves will be in the Philippines in a matter of days. Also during their trip, Delemos said they were able to meet Timor-Leste President Jose Ramos-Horta, who expressed his desire to accelerate the court processes in order to return Teves to the Philippines.

His arrest was made three weeks after the Interpol placed him in its red notice system and a trial court in Manila cancelled his passport.
