00:00 The National Bureau of Investigation explained why former Congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr. was not yet home
00:08 when he was arrested in Timor-Leste.
00:10 This is what Daniel Manalastas reported.
00:12 One by one, the National Bureau of Investigation
00:18 identified the person who was on a mission in Timor-Leste last week
00:21 and resulted in the arrest of former Congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
00:25 Tevez was not included in the NBI.
00:27 He was sent home because of the process of Timor-Leste's government.
00:32 The NBI admitted that they had a hard time verifying if Tevez was really the one arrested
00:39 from the process of getting the fingerprint and the photo.
00:43 We said that he will get the fingerprint 24 hours from now.
00:48 Until Congressman Tevez agreed, he removed his.
00:56 There were a few skirmishes.
00:59 It's normal for them to be emotional.
01:03 We are emotional too because we have an objective.
01:06 They also have a process.
01:08 Maybe we didn't understand.
01:10 We don't want to say that it's like that.
01:14 We just had a hard time.
01:16 But their cooperation was fast.
01:20 In the end, we didn't have a problem.
01:22 Maybe it was hot, it was a bit cloudy, there was a storm.
01:30 Their cooperation was fast.
01:32 In the end, we didn't have a problem.
01:35 They also went to the president of Timor-Leste
01:38 and the president wanted to ask the country if the process can be resolved immediately.
01:43 There is a court process.
01:45 We understand that it can be resolved in a minimum of 7 days to a maximum of 14 days.
01:53 We have a position to cancel the passport.
02:00 We are preparing in the event that they force us to get Congressman Tevez.
02:12 The NBI cannot answer the question if Tevez has an influence on the officials of Timor-Leste.
02:18 It's not good to be in our position if that's what our impression is.
02:23 We just had a hard time.
02:26 If we go back there and we condemn those things,
02:31 maybe we will have a double or triple hard time.
02:34 They talked to Tevez and he said that he is afraid to return to the Philippines
02:39 because there might be something bad that will happen to him.
02:42 The NBI also saw that the former congressman is in good health.
02:47 According to the NBI, they did a big thing to Timor-Leste.
02:51 If we are just talking about the paper, the red notice list is already long.
02:56 That's all we can say.
02:58 It's February 27.
03:00 If we don't go there, maybe they won't be that aggressive to enforce the red notice list.
03:10 When we talked one-on-one, Congressman Tevez is very healthy.
03:19 The NBI also showed the situation of Tevez in the area.
03:23 This is a triage. This is really a detention.
03:27 The NBI said that the deportation process can be continued.
03:33 Tevez's plan is to file a case in the United Nations.
03:38 According to the DOJ, they don't know any country that has been under the justice system.
03:45 They have already committed crimes in the Philippines.
03:48 The family of the victims is also here.
03:50 That's why it's only right that justice is served here.
