Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was taken into police custody after returning to Manila from abroad on Tuesday, local media reported.

According to the Presidential Communications Office, Interpol in Manila received the official copy of the arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday morning.

The Philippines officially withdrew from the ICC in 2019.

During his presidency, Duterte carried out the "war on drugs," which drew widespread attention both domestically and internationally.
