DUBAI, United Arab Emirates\u2014A man named by Philippines’ president as a major drug kingpin was arrested in the capital of the United Arab Emirates after apparently fleeing his country, a Filipino diplomat said Monday.<\/p>\n

Rolando \u201cKerwin\u201d Espinosa Jr. was arrested Sunday night in an apartment in Abu Dhabi, Ambassador Constancio Vingno Jr. told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi investigators used intelligence gathered by the Philippine National Police to locate Espinosa, Vingno said. He said that his country hopes to extradite Espinosa soon.<\/p>\n

Filipino media quoted local police as saying an overseas Filipino worker tipped off authorities.<\/p>\n

An Interpol red notice for Espinosa, the son of a mayor also accused of being a drug kingpin, says he is wanted on drug and weapons charges.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t clear if he had a lawyer.<\/p>\n

Vingno said Espinosa hadn’t requested consular assistance.<\/p>\n

Espinosa and his father had been warned by Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte they faced potentially being shot on sight if they didn’t turn themselves in.<\/p>\n

It’s part of Duterte’s deadly crackdown on illegal drugs in his southeast Asian country that’s seen more than 1,300 suspects killed in gunbattles with police\u2014an average of 36 killings a day since he took office on June 30. Human rights group criticize the campaign as condoning extrajudicial killings.<\/p>\n

Vingno said it was unclear if anyone else would face charges over Espinosa hiding in the UAE. Emirati officials did not immediately comment on his arrest.<\/p>\n

However, Vingno stressed that Espinosa’s arrest shouldn’t be taken as a stain on the reputation of the 600,000 Filipinos working across the UAE.<\/p>\n
