Amid the reports of his arrest, Harry Roque denied this.
There have been reports about Harry Roque being arrested in the Netherlands, but he immediately shut this down with this post.
In a previous article, the former presidential spokesman appealed to Filipinos to pray for him after a Pasig court ordered the cancellation of his passport. To recall, Harry Roque’s location has been unknown, jumping from one country to another. However, when former President Rodrigo Duterte was sent to The Hague after his arrest, he was also there and stayed.
Previously, the House of Representatives ordered his arrest due to his alleged involvement in the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming operations in the country. He’s been hiding since.
Recently, there have been reports that surfaced about him being arrested in the Netherlands. Abante reported that a source claimed Roque was taken into custody by Immigration Police at his residence in The Hague, and later on, he was brought to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Terminal 3. Reportedly, he was held along with several asylum seekers.
As reported, there were two options for Roque: deportation to Vienna, Austria, or repatriation to the Philippines.
However, immediately dismissing the arrest reports, Roque shared a post to deny it. He shared a photo of his ticket to Vienna, Austria, claiming it was a scheduled travel.
The caption said, “There is no truth to the rumors that I have been arrested. I have a scheduled flight to Vienna, Austria today, November 25.”
Meanwhile, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has put its intelligence and tracker units on alert as the government seeks the issuance of an Interpol red notice against the former presidential spokesperson.
Moreover, his passport was revoked by a Pasig court. On November 24, the Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 157 ordered the cancellation of the passports of Roque, Cassandra Ong, and several others in relation to qualified trafficking in persons charges filed against them over alleged illegal POGO activities in Porac, Pampanga.
