MANILA, Philippines—The camp of Vice President Sara Duterte is seeking the outright dismissal of the charges of grave threats filed against her in a Quezon City court in connection with the assassination plot she allegedly arranged targeting President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta – Marcos and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Lawyer Paul Lim, who represents the Vice President in the grave threats case, confirmed the filing of a motion to quash the complaint for three counts of grave threat “for lack of jurisdiction.”
“We confirm having filed a motion to quash the Grave Threats Informations filed against the Vice President, on the ground of lack of jurisdiction,” Lim said in a statement.
“As lawyers bound by our Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability, however, we cannot give any further discussion on this matter that is now sub judice,” he added.
