Senator Trillanes Aarestuhin na
A Makati court on Tuesday ordered the arrest of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, weeks after President Rodrigo Duterte voided the amnesty that revived charges against him for failed uprisings in 2003 and 2007.
The Makati Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 150, which handles the rebellion case against Trillanes over the 2007 Manila Peninsula siege, issued the arrest warrant 21 days since Duterte voided the former Navy officer's 2011 amnesty.
The court also issued a hold departure order against the senator.
The Department of Justice earlier asked the court to order Trillanes' arrest and bar his departure from the country, arguing that the nullification of his amnesty meant that all cases against the senator must be pursued.
Trillanes has been staying at the Senate since the publication of Proclamation 572.
Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III earlier on Tuesday said that Trillanes has already told them that if a warrant will be issued, he will face it.
