The legal team of former President Rodrigo Duterte in The Netherlands is beginning to take shape following the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) appointment of Attorney Nicholas Kaufman as counsel for the defense. Kaufman, a seasoned international lawyer, has represented several high-profile figures in ICC proceedings, strengthening Duterte’s legal strategy as the case progresses.
Meanwhile, Malacañang has urged Vice President Sara Duterte to return home and address ongoing questions regarding her use of confidential funds. The administration is pushing for transparency and accountability amid mounting scrutiny over government spending.
As Duterte’s defense team prepares for legal battles at the ICC, developments on the domestic front continue to intensify political tensions, with the vice president now facing calls for greater accountability from the public and government agencies.
