MANILA — The Department of Justice (DOJ) is now probing Vice President Sara Duterte’s claim that she has contracted someone to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and some of his family members, Malacañang said on Sunday.

“The matter is now subject to an ongoing investigation,” the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said, referring to a message from the DOJ. 

“If the evidence warrants, this could lead to eventual prosecution,” the statement read. 

Duterte’s outbursts against Marcos Jr and his family were triggered after the House moved to transfer Zuleika Lopez — her chief of staff — to a correctional facility from her detention space in the Batasang Pambansa.

Lopez was transferred to another detention facility after Duterte insisted on staying with her in the House of Representatives until the congressional body releases her from detention. 

Lopez was detained after being cited in contempt during a congressional investigation on  the Office of the Vice President’s alleged anomalous spending of its funds.
