"We wanted to have him fingerprinted, but he resisted," Torre said. In a separate interview, Torre said that he arrested and handcuffed the former president's executive secretary for blocking Duterte's transfer to the plane.
Torre confirmed to the AP the authenticity of a video that has gone viral on social media showing Duterte surrounded by his family, lawyers and friends and asking Torre, who led the arresting officers, "Are you going to bring me straight to the airplane?"
"You have to kill me to bring me to The Hague," Torre quoted Duterte as saying.
"That's not our intention sir," Torre said as his men dragged away one of several men surrounding Duterte.
