Philippine Fugitive Lawmaker Arrested in Prague

Government-critical narrative

Co's arrest means nothing if the investigation stops with him — he's accused Marcos of pocketing P25 billion in kickbacks from budget insertions, and those claims demand scrutiny at the highest levels. Co showed photos of luggage deliveries allegedly sent to Marcos and Romualdez, and his repatriation is the chance to put that testimony under oath. Holding only the small fish accountable while shielding those at the top is not justice.
