Fugitive Dalia Pastor
MANILA, Philippines — Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said on Monday the Department of Justice (DOJ) would pursue the extradition of Dalia Pastor, the co-conspirator in the killing of her husband, race car champion Ferdinand “Enzo” Pastor, and work with its international counterparts to track her down.

“The wheels of justice will not remain idle or passive now that the high court has passed down its judgment; the DOJ will join our partner agencies in hunting down the mastermind of Enzo Pastor’s murder,” Remulla said in a statement.
Dalia is reportedly in hiding, either in Indonesia or Malaysia.
In an Oct. 3 decision, the Supreme Court’s Second Division revived the parricide charge against Dalia, overturning the 2022 Court of Appeals ruling that dismissed the case against her. —Jane Bautista
