Um tribunal filipino ordenou na sexta-feira a prisão da vice-presidente Sara Duterte sob acusações de ameaçar publicamente mandar assassinar o presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr., a primeira-dama Liza Araneta-Marcos e o ex-presidente da Câmara Martin Romualdez. O caso remonta a uma coletiva de imprensa virtual de novembro de 2024, na qual Duterte, 48, revelou o que descreveu como um plano de assassinato contra os três funcionários.
O mandado de prisão fixou fiança de 120.000 pesos (cerca de US$ 1.900) para cada uma das três acusações contra ela, e Duterte pagou a fiança no dia seguinte. Ela já havia sido submetida a impeachment pela Câmara dos Representantes em maio pelas mesmas acusações de ameaças, além de alegações separadas de irregularidades financeiras. Uma condenação no processo criminal poderia descarrilar os planos de Duterte de concorrer à presidência em 2028, quando o mandato de seis anos de Marcos deve terminar.
