Accused drug lord Peter Lim, who has been at large for 3 years, has not departed the country, based on Immigration records, says Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra. But he adds, we can never be truly sure.
Three years since the issuance of an arrest warrant against him,"it's about time" that the Philippine government requests to put fugitive and accused drug lord Peter Lim on the International Criminal Police Organization red notice, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said on Monday, June 28.
An Interpol red notice alerts the police worldwide about fugitives. A red notice will be issued upon the request of the member country. "I think it is about time," said Guevarra responding to a question whether the government will initiate that move, following a statement from Interior Secretary Eduardo Año that Lim may have already left the Philippines.
But the Bureau of Immigration said there are no records of Lim leaving the country, according to both Guevarra and BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval. Sandoval said Lim has many namesakes, including one who left the country recently, but"Mr. Peter Go Lim, the subject of news articles, has no recent departure record as of date."
