"The former representative Arnie Teves is now back in the Philippines. I was first informed of this development by Prime Minister Gusmao during the ASEAN meeting that I just returned from in Kuala Lumpur that Timor-Leste was ready to send Teves back to the Philippines," saad ng pangulo sa isang video message.
"This would not have happened without the assistance of President Horta and Prime Minister Gusmao of Timor-Leste. They have been working very hard to bring this to a conclusion," dagdag pa ni Marcos.
"As we know, the former Congressman Arnie Teves is facing charges of murder and other crimes related to the ambush killing of the former Governor Degamo.
"We would also like to assure all our citizens that such lawlessness will not go unpunished and it is now time for Arnie Teves to face justice."
Sumakay si Teves sa eroplano ng Philippine Air Force at kasama niya si NBI Chief Jaime Santiago.
Matatandaang inaresto si Teves noong Martes, Mayo 27 sa kaniyang tahanan sa Timor-Leste. Kinumpirma ito ng anak niyang si Axl Teves.
