Ridon: AMLC report will confirm P6.7-B Duterte-Carpio transactions
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 in an interview on Sunday with Milky Rigonan’s “Isyung Pambayan” on AM radio DZRH.
Previously, the AMLC report was discussed during House proceedings on Duterte’s impeachment, with the figures cited including P6.7 billion in total transactions and P4.4 billion in inflows involving the Duterte-Carpio couple.

According to Ridon, the revelation is not covered by the sub judice rule as it had already been mentioned during the House proceedings.
The P6.7 billion represents total transactions made over several years and is not by itself equivalent to the couple’s net worth, Ridon pointed out, making the underlying bank records important to establishing what the transactions actually represent.
Prosecutors have since obtained bank and tax records through subpoenas issued by the impeachment court, giving them access to financial documents that were not available during the earlier House inquiry.
The bank documents are necessary to confirm certain details of the transactions, Ridon stressed.
