Duterte threatened police during his arrest in Manila

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested in Manila after an International Criminal Court warrant was issued against him. During a 12-hour standoff, he refused to be fingerprinted and threatened police with lawsuits, insisting they would have to kill him to take him to The Hague. Duterte's arrest followed his arrival from Hong Kong with family and friends. Police faced resistance from Duterte's supporters, leading to a tense situation before he was eventually taken to a government-chartered jet for extradition. Duterte's legal team claims his constitutional rights were violated, as authorities did not present the ICC warrant. Vice President Sara Duterte criticized the government's actions, calling it an affront to Philippine sovereignty.
