The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed before the Makati Regional Trial Court (RTC) the United States’ extradition request for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and two of his co-accused, Teresita Tolibas Dandan and Helen Panilag.

According to the agency, the case had already been raffled to Branch 145, RH Noche Cacas reported. Quiboloy is facing charges related to international human and sex trafficking, conspiracy, and bulk cash smuggling.

According to the report by Cacas, the United States had previously requested the extradition of the other respondents.

The DOJ said that the extradition proceeding is sui generis and does not constitute the guilt or innocence of the accused if the latter would be extradited.

In a previous update, the DOJ said it would file the extradition petition before the Makati RTC before the end of November.
