The new organization SMNI shared the statement made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo against International Crim1nal C0urt Pros3cutor Fatou Bensouda.
According to Pompeo, he called the ICC pros3cutor "c0rrupt" and allegedly wasted a large amount of money. Pompeo made the statement 5 months ago.
Bensouda has been in the news recently after she favored the continuation of the invest1gation against the Duterte Government's wa*r on d*ugs.
In his press release, Senator Francis Tolentino sla*mmed Bensouda's credibility. “I still have some doubts as to the official credibility of Former Pros3cutor Fatou Bensouda’s ICC recommendations announced hours before she retired from ICC last Tuesday (June 15,2021). We should note that previously Madame Bensouda was included in the SDN (specifically designated national) list of the US government under President Trump. Besouda as a US designated “terr0r1st” was considered as a thr3at to US national security and foreign and economic policies and though a former bank manager, her financial transactions and those dealing with her were blocked by the US Treasury. How can she during her tenure objectively conduct an invest1gation when some members of the international community considered her as persona non grata for terr0r1st links? A lot of questions will have to be answered first whether a retired pros3cutor can still recommend the pros3cution of a head of state of a non Treaty of Rome signatory,” according to an explanation.
On April 2, President Joe Biden lifted US sanctions against Bensouda.
