In June, the court approved the Philippines’ request to extradite Teves, who was arrested in Dili in March following an Interpol red notice.

Teves fled the Philippines after being implicated in the killing of Governor Roel Degamo.

Following this, an Interpol red notice was issued, leading to his arrest in Timor-Leste in March 2024.

Philippine authorities sought his extradition to face charges of murder and illegal possession of firearms.
