The bank accounts of Duterte, as well as her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, have been the subject of scrutiny.
Feb 10, 2025 03:29 AMThe House prosecution team in Vice President Sara Duterte's upcoming impeachment trial intends to subpoena her bank records as part of its strategy to secure the ouster of the controversial lady official.The House prosecution team in Vice President Sara Duterte's upcoming impeachment trial intends to subpoena her bank records as part of its strategy to secure the ouster of the controversial lady official.
“The impeachment process allows us to complete the evidence to support our case, and that includes subpoenaing financial records if necessary through the Senate impeachment court,” Chua said in a statement. “This will not prevent us from doing our job. We will ensure that when the trial begins, and as we proceed, we have the necessary documents, testimonies and financial records to present. We have a strong case against the Vice President,” Chua explained.
Former president Duterte, the father of the Vice President, has staunchly refused any inquiry into these accounts, which led to his public outburst against Trillanes when the latter dared him to sign a waiver of bank secrecy. This legal principle was affirmed in the 2012 impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona, where his bank records were subpoenaed and used as evidence in proving allegations of ill-gotten wealth and failure to fully disclose assets in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth . This ultimately resulted in his conviction and removal from office.
