00:00The legal counsel of former President Rodrigo Duterte denied that his client participated in
00:08destroying the evidence related to his brutal war on drugs campaign despite claims made by
00:14Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia. In an interview, lawyer Nicholas Kaufman reiterated
00:20that the former president had nothing to do with claims that drug war evidence was destroyed.
00:26Stressing that he doesn't believe such claims, Kaufman refused to give details on the evidence
00:31presented by the prosecutor before the International Criminal Court where the former chief executive
00:36will be tried for charges of crimes against humanity of murder for the thousands of
00:41extrajudicial killings during his administration. Last week, Secretary Remulia claimed that the
00:48government decided not to pursue the drug case against the former president and allowed the
00:52ICC to take over. He said everything that could be erased was erased so that the cases would not
00:59push through. Despite these claims, the ICC prosecutor recently disclosed an additional 1,062 pieces of
01:06evidence to be considered for Duterte's case. The number of evidence that will be used in the
01:12former chief executive's trial has reached more than 100,000 items, including written testimonials
01:18evidence and video recordings.
