Former Senator Leila De Lima on Monday insisted that former President Rodrigo Duterte was the mastermind behind the alleged extrajudicial killings that characterized the previous administration’s war on drugs.
“These killings were intentionally and deliberately carried out as part and parcel of Oplan Double Barrel upon Duterte’s orders as President and Chief Executive from 2016 to 2022,” De Lima said in her opening statement. De Lima described a chilling system where assassination squads, comprising active policemen and civilian hitmen, were organized to carry out these killings.
Lascañas, who later admitted to being the DDS operations head, is now a key witness in the International Criminal Court’s investigation into Duterte’s actions.
