DOJ has ‘fullest autonomy’ on criminal raps vs VP Sara Duterte – Palace
Malacañang announced it will not intervene in the grave threats and inciting to sedition charges filed against Vice President Sara Duterte, assuring the Department of Justice (DOJ) will have the "fullest autonomy" in the criminal investigation.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin stated that the Palace will allow the legal proceedings to go through their full course without any interference.
The charges were filed by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against the Vice President before the DOJ.
These accusations stem from Duterte's statements about hiring someone to kill President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez should an assassination plot against her materialize.
Allies of the Vice President claim the charges are part of a demolition job by political enemies to remove her from contention in the 2028 presidential race.
