The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) disclosed that financial institutions had flagged transactions involving Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, Atty. Manases Carpio, amounting to billions of pesos.
During a House committee on justice hearing, AMLC Executive Director Atty. Ronel Buenaventura reported that banks had identified both suspicious and reportable transactions linked to the couple.
Records showed that 33 transactions were classified as suspicious, while 630 were tagged as covered transactions submitted by banks to regulators for monitoring.
The total value of these transactions reached Php 6.77 billion, based on data presented to lawmakers as part of the ongoing inquiry.
Of the amount, around Php 4.42 billion had been recorded as inflows into the accounts associated with Duterte and her spouse.
Meanwhile, about Php 1.55 billion had been transferred out of the same accounts, according to the AMLC’s findings.
Roughly Php 791 million could not be clearly categorized as either incoming or outgoing funds, the report indicated.
The disclosures formed part of the financial review being conducted by legislators examining allegations tied to the Vice President, with authorities continuing to analyze transaction patterns and sources.
