Arnie Teves Returns to Philippines to Face Murder Charges

Former Philippine Congressman Arnie Teves, facing murder charges, has been returned to the Philippines after his arrest in Timor-Leste. President Bongbong Marcos confirmed the news, stating in a press briefing, "The former representative Arnie Teves is now back in the Philippines." The video shows Teves arriving at Villamor Air Base, visibly subdued, in handcuffs. The GMA News report also includes images of Teves on the airplane, escorted by authorities. Teves' lawyer, Attorney Ferdinand Topacio, confirmed he would be present at Villamor Air Base for his client's arrival. This repatriation marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the murder charges against Teves, related to the ambush killing of former Governor Degamo. The successful return of Teves to face justice underscores the cooperation between the Philippines and Timor-Leste in addressing criminal matters.
