Indon has no conditions for Veloso’s repatriation
By Nidz Godino
“There seems to be no conditions imposed. ..they’re just handing Mary Jane Veloso to us and it is up to us to decide whether or not there should be other steps taken,” Department of Justice spokesman Mico Clavano said Indonesian government did not impose any condition on repatriation of convicted drug courier Mary Jane Veloso.
Clavano said Indonesia has agreed to relinquish both physical and legal custody of Veloso to the Philippines.
“We initially thought physical custody will be with us and legal custody will remain with Indonesia but it seems right now, both legal and physical custody are now with Philippines,” he stressed.
With this, Philippines no longer needs permission from Indonesian government should executive clemency be granted to Veloso.
Other decisions such as possible sentence commutation or location of Veloso’s detention will be in the hands of Philippine authorities, Clavano said.
Philippines and Indonesia signed on Dec. 6 agreement on transfer of Veloso, who has been on death row since her conviction, back to Philippines.
Clavano said Indonesia has indicated it wants Veloso transferred to Philippines by Christmas day.
It has yet to be determined where Veloso will be detained once she’s back in the Philippines. Clavano, said she will be kept separate from her convicted illegal recruiters Cristina Sergio and Julius Lacanlinao.
