Sara Duterte bank accounts match AMLC records in wealth probe

A House prosecution panel has confirmed that 15 bank accounts belonging to Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, match records provided by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC). The panel intends to use this documentary trail to substantiate charges regarding unexplained wealth.

Prosecutors are currently reviewing approximately 1,800 subpoenaed documents, including bank and insurance files. The prosecution team, which includes Rep. Chel Diokno and Rep. Terry Ridon, is considering calling Carpio as a hostile witness to establish the full extent of the couple's properties and business interests.

Depending on whether the defense stipulates to the authenticity of the records, the number of bank officials called to testify could range from 15 to 25. Other potential witnesses include officials from the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the AMLC.
