(UPDATES) THE return to the Philippines of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo could be delayed by a request from the Indonesian government for a prisoner swap, Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla said, following confirmed reports that Guo was arrested in Jakarta.
Remulla said the Indonesian authorities wanted to exchange Guo for a high-profile drug suspect, Gregor Johan Haas, who was arrested on May 15 in Bogo, Cebu, after the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) issued a red notice based on a criminal complaint filed against him by Indonesian authorities.
