Philippines to send high-level team to secure return of arrested lawmaker from Czech Republic

Monday, 20 April 2026, 06:12 · 1 min read

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has announced he will dispatch a high-level coordination team to facilitate the repatriation of resigned lawmaker Zaldy Co, who was recently arrested in the Czech Republic. Co faces charges of graft and malversation of public funds in the Philippines linked to flood control projects. Marcos cautioned that the process would take time, as it must follow established legal procedures between the two countries, but pledged that Co would "answer to the Filipino people."
