AMLC Report to Confirm P6.7-B Duterte-Carpio Transactions at Senate Impeachment Court

MANILA, Philippines — The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) is expected to present to the Senate impeachment court its report on P6.7 billion in transactions linked to the bank accounts of Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, in the unexplained wealth case. Bicol Saro Party-list Rep. Terry Ridon, a House prosecutor, announced this. "The AMLC report will confirm the P6.7 billion in transactions involving the Vice President and her husband," Ridon said in a statement. The AMLC report is expected to be submitted to the Senate impeachment court next week. The unexplained wealth case against Duterte and Carpio was filed by a group of lawyers who accused them of accumulating ill-gotten wealth during their time in public office. Duterte and Carpio have denied the allegations, saying that their wealth was legitimately acquired. The Senate impeachment court is expected to hear the case in the coming weeks. The P6.7 billion in transactions is said to involve several bank accounts, including those of Duterte and Carpio, as well as their relatives and associates. The AMLC has been investigating the transactions for several months, and its report is expected to shed light on the source of the funds and how they were used. The case is seen as a test for the Duterte administration's commitment to good governance and anti-corruption efforts. If found guilty, Duterte and Carpio could face impeachment and disqualification from holding public office.
