Un tribunal filipino ordenó el viernes el arresto de la vicepresidenta Sara Duterte por cargos de haber amenazado públicamente con hacer asesinar al presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr., a la primera dama Liza Araneta-Marcos y al expresidente de la Cámara Martin Romualdez. El caso se origina en una conferencia de prensa virtual de noviembre de 2024, en la que Duterte, de 48 años, reveló lo que describió como un complot de asesinato contra los tres funcionarios.
La orden de arresto fijó una fianza de 120.000 pesos (unos 1.900 dólares) por cada uno de los tres cargos en su contra, y Duterte pagó la fianza al día siguiente. Ya había sido sometida a juicio político por la Cámara de Representantes en mayo por las mismas acusaciones de amenazas, junto con denuncias separadas de irregularidades financieras. Una condena en el caso penal podría descarrilar los planes de Duterte de postularse a la presidencia en 2028, cuando termine el mandato de seis años de Marcos.
