MANILA – The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte advanced to its 33rd day on Monday with prosecutors scheduled to present testimony from the Anti-Money Laundering Council Secretariat's Executive Director Ronel Buenaventura.
Buenaventura is expected to testify regarding suspicious transaction reports filed with the AMLC involving Duterte, her husband Manases Carpio, and various business entities connected to the family. The financial records represent a key component of the prosecution's case as the trial continues in the House of Representatives.
The vice president has faced multiple charges stemming from separate proceedings earlier this year. The impeachment trial has drawn considerable attention as it represents one of the most significant constitutional proceedings in recent Philippine history.
The testimony is anticipated to provide documentary evidence supporting the prosecution's allegations. Additional witnesses are expected to follow Buenaventura's presentation as the trial moves through its evidence phase.
