MANILA - The Department of Justice (DOJ) through the Bureau of Immigration has issued two alert list orders against expelled congressman Arnolfo Teves, Jr., the alleged mastermind in the murder of Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo and several others.
 
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said in a statement that the orders were issued to restrict Teves' movement and facilitate his arrest through international cooperation.
 
“The DOJ assures that all individuals are held accountable for their actions, regardless of their position or influence,” said Remulla.
 
The orders were issued pursuant to a court warrant dated September 5, 2023 and an Interpol Blue Notice published on February 19, 2024.
 
The orders direct all BI officers to promptly report any information regarding Teves’ entry, exit, or attempted entry and exit, to the Philippine National Police or the National Bureau of Investigation.
 
BI officers were also instructed to refer Teves to the PNP or NBI whenever encountered at any port of entry.
 
“Teves cannot escape the long arm of the law,” Remulla said.
