Philippine court issues VP Duterte arrest warrant
A court in the Philippines has issued an arrest warrant against the country's Vice President, Sara Duterte, on charges of threatening to kill the president, after she made statements claiming that she hired a hitman to kill him if he were to be assassinated. This charge is part of her ongoing impeachment proceedings before the Senate, where a conviction could lead to her removal from office and permanently bar her from holding any political position, with penalties of up to six months in jail. Her lawyers are expected to request her bail, and she is unlikely to be immediately detained. Her case is also connected to a previous attempt to remove her from office due to allegations of corruption and embezzlement. If she is convicted in the Senate, it would definitively end her prospects of running for president in 2028.
