Supreme Court reinstates arrest warrant for Dalia Pastor in Enzo Pastor murder case

The Supreme Court of the Philippines has reinstated an arrest warrant and hold departure order against Dalia Guerrero Pastor, accused of conspiring in the 2014 murder of her husband, race car driver Enzo Pastor. This decision overturns a previous ruling by the Court of Appeals that dismissed the case. The Supreme Court found sufficient evidence linking Dalia to the conspiracy, including testimonies about her involvement in planning the ambush. The court emphasized that probable cause does not equate to guilt but allows the case to proceed to trial. Previously, the Court of Appeals had dismissed the charges, citing a lack of evidence connecting Dalia to the conspiracy. The Supreme Court's ruling now mandates a full trial to explore the evidence against her and the other accused.
