MANILA, Philippines — Ipinaliwanag ng Department of Justice noong Huwebes na hindi teknikal na inaresto si Zaldy Co sa Czech Republic bagamat nasa kustodiya siya roon. Ayon sa DOJ spokesman na si Polo Martinez, walang warrant of arrest sa Czech Republic dahil ang kaso ay nakabinbin sa Pilipinas.

"Ang Czech Republic ay hindi maaaring mag-aresto nang lehitimong paraan kay Zaldy Co dahil wala namang outstanding warrant doon, ang warrant ay narito sa Pilipinas, ang kaso ay nakabinbin din dito," ani Martinez sa isang panayam, ayon sa mga ulat sa social media.

Sa kanyang paglilinaw, sinabi ni Martinez na si Co ay sumailalim sa opisyal na aksyon ng mga pulisya sa Czech Republic at nananatili pa rin doon. "Pansamantalang pinigil ang kanyang kalayaan dahil lamang sa posibleng paglabag sa imigrasyon," dagdag niya. Hindi pa raw alam ng DOJ ang eksaktong detalye ng insidente ngunit malapit nang malaman.

Samantala, umalis na noong April 23 si Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida, Chief State Counsel Dennis Chan, mga opisyal ng Department of Foreign Affairs at Philippine Center on Transnational Crime patungong Prague upang makipag-usap sa mga katapat tungkol sa pagharap ni Co sa kanyang mga kaso sa Pilipinas.
