The International Criminal Court (ICC) Trial Chamber III grants the prosecution’s request to freeze money seized from former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte when he is arrested and turned over to the ICC in March 2025, according to statements reported by Philippine outlets. Duterte’s counsel, Peter Haynes, says the Trial Chamber’s decision is reflected in a public document dated June 26. Haynes’ response addresses the prosecution’s request related to access to items held by the ICC Registry that were obtained at the time of Duterte’s arrest and transferred into the ICC’s custody. The reporting also says the Trial Chamber orders that any money seized be frozen and directs the ICC Registry to provide an inventory of the seized items and related materials. The sources do not provide additional details on the amount, the location where the money is seized, or the purpose of the freeze beyond the ICC prosecution’s request and the Trial Chamber’s order. The decision is presented as part of the ICC’s handling of evidence and assets associated with Duterte’s arrest and custody transfer.
