President Ferdinand ”Bongbong” Marcos Jr. wants to have an extradition treaty with Portugal for the arrest of former lawmaker Zaldy Co, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said Tuesday.

Remulla, in a Palace press briefing, said that Marcos already directed the ”formal application” of this extradition treaty. 

Co is believed to be in Portugal amid the ongoing arrest of individuals charged over the flood control mess in Oriental Mindoro.

Co is suspected to hold a Portuguese passport, which was “acquired so many years ago”. —AOL, GMA Integrated News
