However, Justice Chief Menardo Guevarra said Thursday the Philippines can seek the help of the International Police Organization (Interpol) on locating the whereabouts of Lim amid rumors that he has fled the country.
"No information or confirmation that Peter Lim has slipped out of the country but if he has, we may ask the Interpol for info[rmation] on his whereabouts, depending on which country he may have fled to," he said in a statement.
"The Philippine government may ask for extradition or other forms of legal assistance," he added.
