DOJ files grave threats case vs SaraMANILA, Philippines — Aside from the same charge already tackled during her ongoing impeachment trial, Vice President Sara Duterte is facing yet another case of grave threats over her remarks to have President Marcos and members of his family killed.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed the filing of a grave threats case against Duterte yesterday before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court.
Martinez disclosed that Duterte faces one count of grave threats with bail fixed at P120,000.
It was contrary to the statement from Duterte’s lawyer Paul Lawrence Lim that she was slapped with “three counts of grave threats.”
“Given these serious legal issues, the Vice President will exercise all available legal remedies in due course,” he said.
