Sara camp on NBI charges: As expected
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has filed charges of inciting to sedition and grave threats against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio before the Department of Justice (DOJ).
These charges stem from her alleged statement on November 23, 2024, about hiring someone to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
NBI Director Jaime Santiago stated that the NBI unanimously agreed Duterte is liable for inciting sedition and committing grave threats.
The DOJ's National Prosecution Service will now review the evidence to determine if a preliminary investigation will proceed.
Duterte commented that the filing of charges was "as expected".
