Sara to DOJ: Junk inciting to sedition, grave threats raps
Vice President Sara Duterte has asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to junk the inciting to sedition and grave threats complaints filed against her by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
The complaints stem from her earlier statement about hiring an individual to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez should a supposed kill plot against her materialize.
Duterte personally attended the preliminary investigation at the DOJ to file her counter-affidavit, where she denied the charges, calling the allegations "false" and "baseless" with no supporting evidence.
Her defense team stated that the Vice President consistently maintains she will face the accusations through the proper legal channels.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla assured that due process will be followed in the Vice President's case.
