Bringing former lawmaker Zaldy Co, who is facing malversation of public funds case, cannot be done without the help of the country where he is in, President Marcos said.

Marcos explained that while Co is facing raps over an anomalous flood control project in Oriental Mindoro, the Philippine police cannot arrest him while he is outside the country.

00:00Sir, may we also have an update about former Congressman Zaltico.
00:05Why is it difficult for the government to bring him home?
00:09You cannot bring him home because that is not the way it works.
00:13We have to ask the assistance of the country where he is in, which is presently Portugal.
00:22So that is what we have done.
00:24Now, naglagay na tayo ng red notice sa Interpol at patuloy ang ating ugnayan sa mga Portuguese authorities na pauwi
00:32na siya.
00:33And that's the process that you do not send your own police to go and pick him up.
00:39Kasi wala naman jurisdiction ng police dun sa kung saan yung ibang bansa.
00:43So they cannot arrest anyone.
00:45So it will have to be the assistance of the hosting country.
