MANILA — The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) is expected to present its report detailing P6.7 billion in transactions connected to bank accounts held by Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, before the Senate impeachment court.
Bicol Saro Party-list Representative Terry Ridon, serving as a House prosecutor in the impeachment proceedings, made the announcement regarding the anticipated submission. The report will serve as crucial evidence in the unexplained wealth case being pursued against the Vice President.
The transaction details are expected to form a significant component of the impeachment inquiry, as investigators examine the sources and nature of the substantial fund movements through the couple's accounts. The AMLC's findings could prove instrumental in determining whether the accumulated wealth aligns with declared income and legitimate sources.
The submission of the report to the impeachment court marks a key procedural step in the ongoing case, which has drawn considerable attention given Duterte's high-profile position in government. Legal observers anticipate the transaction analysis will be subject to rigorous scrutiny during the impeachment proceedings.
