Episode Details

The U.S. has formally requested the Philippines extradite Apollo Quiboloy, a 76-year-old Filipino preacher and founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ church, who’s accused of child sex trafficking and fraud — charges that landed him on the FBI’s most wanted list. While he’s already detained in the Philippines facing local human trafficking and abuse charges, a unique bilateral treaty allows for temporary surrender to face foreign trials before domestic cases conclude — pending Philippine court approval. Once influential, even advising former President Duterte, Quiboloy denies all allegations, calling them fabricated by critics and ex-members. As Philippine authorities weigh the extradition request, this high-profile case underscores the complexities of international justice and the global reach of religious leaders accused of grave crimes.
