Anti-Money Laundering Council flags Vice President Sara Duterte's transactions over flood projects and drugs
The Anti-Money Laundering Council has identified financial moves linked to Vice President Sara Duterte as possibly tied to flood-control contracts and illegal drug activity, while a system glitch inflated related bank records.
Prosecutors say the Anti-Money Laundering Council flagged several of Vice President Sara Duterte's transactions as potentially connected to flood-control initiatives and illicit drug trade. A technical error caused some Bank of the Philippine Islands entries involving her husband, Mans Carpio, to appear unusually large. Meanwhile, Senator Jinggoy Estrada's Senate office is being cleared for handover to Senate President Pro Tempore Tito Sotto, and a no-contact apprehension policy will resume in five Metro Manila cities on October 5.
Why it matters
The allegations could affect the credibility of a senior Philippine leader and raise concerns about financial oversight.
