Former Philippine lawmaker Zaldy Co was detained in Prague after crossing into the Czech Republic without proper documentation. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced the arrest on social media, saying authorities were coordinating with Czech officials to arrange Co's return.

Co left the Philippines in July 2025, citing medical treatment, days before Marcos ordered a crackdown on flood control corruption. He resigned from the House of Representatives in September 2025 and was declared a fugitive by the Sandiganbayan in February 2026.

Co served as chair of the House appropriations committee from 2022 until January 2025 and was linked to construction firm Sunwest, which won billions of pesos in government infrastructure contracts. He faces graft and malversation charges over an alleged anomalous flood control project in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro.

Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said Co could be returned to the Philippines in one to three weeks, with the Department of Foreign Affairs serving as the lead agency. Co's deportation is based on his canceled Philippine passport, as he was traveling without documentation.

Makabayan bloc lawmakers called for Co to testify under oath about his prior allegations implicating Marcos in a corruption network tied to flood control projects. Senate Blue Ribbon Committee chairman Sen. Panfilo Lacson said the panel would reopen its inquiry and summon Co upon his return.
