The Trial Chamber III of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has granted part of the prosecution's request to access some of former President Rodrigo Duterte's belongings currently in the custody of the ICC Registry.

"Makatuwiran ang inilatag na batayan ng prosecution para makatulong ang mga ito sa imbestigasyon kaugnay ng kasong crimes against humanity ni dating Pangulong Duterte."

(The grounds presented by the prosecution are reasonable, as these items could aid the investigation related to the crimes against humanity case against former President Duterte.)

However, the Court denied the request to access all the keys confiscated from the former president, citing insufficient justification from the prosecution. The Court also noted that granting this part of the request could affect the privacy rights of third parties.

The Chamber also directed the prosecution to submit any additional requests for other items belonging to FPRRD (Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte) until June 30, 2026, while instructing the Registry to release to the prosecution the items that have already been approved.
