Must Watch: AMLC said they are not the source of the Ombudsman and Trillanes' allegations

The Anti-Money Laundering Council has denied furnishing the Ombudsman with reports and data identified with its examination of the asserted billion-peso financial balances of President Rodrigo Duterte.

The AMLC affirmed accepting from the Overall Deputy Ombudsman on September 6 a letter dated August 17 asking for an examination concerning the subject ledgers yet added that the connection to the grievance contained "wrong and misleading" amounts

"We have categorically stated before that the Anti-Money Laundering Council is not the source of the documents and information attached by Senator Antonio F. Trillanes IV in his complaint regarding the alleged bank accounts of President Rodrigo Duterte," the AMLC said in a statement.

"It has neither provided the Office of the Ombudsman with any report as a consequence of any investigation of subject accounts for any purpose," it added.

The AMLC said that it had "yet to evaluate the request, and the initiation of an investigation, as well as the release of any report on the subject will depend on such evaluation."

"Suffice it to state that in the attachment to the complaint, the alleged debits and credits representing outflows and inflows of funds were added together, thus the resulting total amounts are wrong and misleading," the AMLC said.



Overall Deputy Ombudsman Arthur Carandang on Wednesday said that he had been authorized by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales to act on the complaint of Trillanes and has already requested the Anti-Money Laundering Council for a final validation on the bank transaction records of the first family.

He added that initial bank records show the flow of money through deposits and withdrawals from Duterte's sons, Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo and Sebastian "Baste," and his joint accounts with his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.

Carandang said the records of Duterte's custom-based law spouse, Honeylet Avancena, and their little girl, Kitty, were likewise incorporated into the records got by the Ombudsman.

Carandang said a similar grumbling of Trillanes was sufficiently adequate for the AMLC to lead a request on the financial balances of Duterte's family.

In August, Trillanes guaranteed that the Ombudsman was in control of AMLC records with respect to Duterte's claimed flagged bank transactions in different financial balances including P2 billion in stores and credits.

"In light of tenable sources, as ahead of schedule as April a year ago, the Office of the Ombudsman has gotten official AMLC archives demonstrating hailed exchanges in Duterte's different financial balances which adds up to more than 2 billion pesos in stores and credits," Trillanes said at that point.
