Arnie Teves to be transferred to Bilibid —NBI
Former Negros Oriental representative Arnolfo 'Arnie' Teves Jr. is set to be transferred to a detention facility of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City on Friday morning, an official said. 'This morning po,' NBI Director James Santiago said in an interview on GMA Integrated News' Unang Balita when asked what time Teves will be transferred to Bilibid. Teves, the alleged mastermind in the killing of ex-Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo, is currently being held at the NBI office in Manila. Santiago said Teves will be presented to the media at 10 a.m. before his transfer to Bilibid. 'Yung mga kasamahan natin sa media nagre-request sila ng interview so ihaharap ko sa kanila nang sandali. Tapos didiretso na sa Bureau of Corrections (BuCor),' Santiago said. (Our colleagues in the media are requesting an interview so I will present Teves to them for a moment. Then he will go straight to the Bureau of Corrections.) Santiago explained that Teves will be transferred to the BuCor facility because the NBI has no detention facility in its office in Manila. 'Pinahiram sa amin ang Building 14 kung saan lahat ng detainees ng NBI doon inilalagay pero distinct and separate sa BuCor,' he said. (We were lent Building 14 where all NBI detainees are held but it is distinct and separate from BuCor.) Teves is back in the Philippines after being deported by authorities in Timor-Leste where he sought asylum. The plane carrying Teves from Timor-Leste landed in Davao City at 7:40 p.m. on Thursday for a stopover. It landed at Villamor Air Base in Pasay City at past 11 p.m. Teves was brought to the NBI in Manila where he underwent booking procedure and medical examination. The former lawmaker was allegedly the mastermind in the killing of Degamo and nine others on March 4, 2023 in his residence in Pamplona. But Teves has denied the accusation.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
