Kerwin Espinosa nabbed in Abu Dhabi

MANILA, Philippines – Alleged drug lord Kerwin Espinosa was arrested by Abu Dhabi police over the weekend, Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa told reporters on Monday, October 17.

Espinosa is the son of Albuera mayor Rolando Espinosa. He has long been hunted down by Philippine police.

Speaking during a press conference on Monday, Dela Rosa said an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) tipped Philippine police on the whereabouts of Kerwin.

A 3-man team led by Senior Superintendent Bert Ferro, chief of the anti-illegal drugs group, flew to Abu Dhabi to work with local police.

An arrest warrant was recently issued against Kerwin Espinosa for supposedly peddling drugs and possessing illegal firearms. His father, mayor Espinosa had earlier "surrendered" to Dela Rosa and even stayed inside the PNP chief's official residence.

Mayor Espinosa eventually returned to Albuera and was later arrested.

The younger Espinosa is under the custody of Abu Dhabi police and will fly back to the Philippines as soon as the necessary paperwork is processed.
