Former Florida GOP congressional candidate accused of threatening rival nabbed in Philippines

NYP: A former Florida congressional candidate who allegedly threatened his campaign rival with a “Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” two years ago has been arrested in the Philippines.

William Robert Braddock III, 39, was nabbed on Roxas Boulevard in Manila as part of a joint operation between the Bureau of Immigration Fugitive Search Unit (FSU), the FBI, and the US Diplomatic Security Service-Overseas Criminal Investigations, the Manila Bulletin reported.

It is not clear how long Braddock, who was taken into custody as an illegal alien, has been in the country.

He is currently being held at a detention facility in Taguig City pending his extradition to the US, where he will face an outstanding Florida arrest warrant stemming from the threats he allegedly made against his political rival two years ago, the Daily Tribune said.

Braddock was vying for Florida’s 13th District congressional seat as a Republican candidate in June 2021 when he was recorded voicing bizarre threats against his main rival, Anna Paulina Luna. more

  1. Subject this turkey to Filipino justice, they don’t take shit like this lightly. If they don’t summarily execute him first, if he gets a life sentence in a Filipino jail, he’d wish that they would’ve executed him instead. Problem solved.
