MANILA, Philippines — April 22, 2026. The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has reported that Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, were linked to over P6.7 billion worth of covered and suspicious bank transactions between 2006 and 2025, raising serious questions during ongoing impeachment proceedings.

The AMLC disclosed before the House Committee on Justice that bank accounts tied to Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband had been repeatedly flagged for suspicious and covered transactions amounting to P6.77 billion.

AMLC Executive Director Ronel Buenaventura testified that “Yes, there are suspicious transactions and covered transactions in our system, database, or record,” confirming the findings during the impeachment hearings.

The report detailed that Duterte’s accounts were linked to P3.77 billion worth of flagged transactions, while Carpio’s accounts accounted for P2.99 billion.

Buenaventura explained that covered transactions are those exceeding P500,000 in a single banking day, while suspicious transactions are those that lack legal justification or deviate from client profiles.

According to the AMLC, Duterte’s accounts generated 371 large transactions and 30 suspicious transactions from October 13, 2005, to January 28, 2026, with amounts reaching as high as P55.158 million.

Carpio’s accounts, meanwhile, recorded 317 covered transactions and 16 suspicious transactions over the same period.

The AMLC identified inflows totaling P4.43 billion, with P1.83 billion deposited into Duterte’s accounts and P2.59 billion into Carpio’s.

Withdrawals amounted to P1.21 billion from Duterte’s accounts and P343.32 million from Carpio’s accounts.

The report also flagged P791.1 million in transactions with undetermined inflows and outflows, raising further concerns about transparency.

Buenaventura noted that the composition of transactions included credit memos worth P1.41 billion, debit memos worth P1.03 billion, and fund transfers totaling P521.86 million, alongside time deposit pre-terminations and insurance-related dealings.

Representative Joel Chua pointed out during the hearing that “Madam chair, wala po yan sa SALN ah,” highlighting discrepancies between the flagged transactions and Duterte’s declared Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN).

The AMLC emphasized that its focus is not on personalities but on “the movement, flow and the frequency of flows, and whether there is anything unusual in that flow.”

The revelations come as lawmakers deliberate on impeachment complaints against the Vice President, centering on allegations of unexplained wealth and discrepancies in her financial disclosures.

This development has intensified scrutiny of Duterte’s financial dealings, with the House justice panel expected to continue probing the flagged transactions in the coming weeks.
