The House prosecution panel is planning to present officials from the Office of the Ombudsman, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (ALMC) as witnesses in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
House Prosecutor Terry Ridon confirmed that the agencies are being considered to testify on allegations related to the vice president’s supposed unexplained wealth, an issue assigned to him within the prosecution team, as reported by RH Milky Rigonan.
The officials from the three agencies have yet to receive formal notice, pending the completion of the prosecution panel’s witness list. Preparations are ongoing as the team finalizes and selects individuals who will be called to testify during the trial.
During earlier proceedings at the House Committee on Justice, representatives from the Office of the Ombudsman appeared in connection with issues involving Duterte’s statement of assets, liabilities and net worth.
Meanwhile, the AMLC flagged transactions amounting to 6.7 billion pesos involving Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, covering the period from 2006 to 2025.
