Makamu wa Rais wa Ufilipino Sara Duterte Aamriwa Kukamatwa Kwa Kutishia Rais Marcos
Mahakama ya Ufilipino iliamuru kukamatwa kwa Makamu wa Rais Sara Duterte kwa mashtaka ya kutishia kumuua Rais Ferdinand Marcos Jr., mke wa rais, na aliyekuwa spika wa zamani wa bunge; alitoa dhamana masaa machache baadaye.

Mahakama ya Ufilipino Ijumaa iliamuru kukamatwa kwa Makamu wa Rais Sara Duterte kwa mashtaka ya kutishia hadharani kumuua Rais Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Mke wa Rais Liza Araneta-Marcos, na aliyekuwa Spika wa Bunge Martin Romualdez. Kesi hiyo inatokana na mkutano wa waandishi wa habari wa mtandaoni wa Novemba 2024, ambapo Duterte, mwenye umri wa miaka 48, alifichua kile alichokielezea kama njama ya mauaji dhidi ya maafisa hao watatu.
Hati ya kukamatwa iliweka dhamana ya pesos 120,000 (kama dola 1,900) kwa kila moja ya mashtaka matatu dhidi yake, na Duterte alitoa dhamana siku iliyofuata. Alikuwa tayari ameondolewa madarakani na Bunge la Wawakilishi mnamo Mei kwa mashtaka hayo hayo ya vitisho pamoja na madai tofauti ya ukiukwaji wa kifedha. Hukumu katika kesi ya jinai inaweza kuyaharibu mipango ya Duterte ya kugombea urais mwaka 2028, wakati muhula wa miaka sita wa Marcos utakapomalizika.
