AMLC’s confidential letter denying it gave Ombudsman proof of Duterte’s bank records

Solicitor General Jose Calida said he received a letter from Anti-Money Laundering Council saying that it was not the source of any information or evidence that the Ombudsman has about the supposed bank accounts of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Calida said Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur Carandang made a false claim that the Ombudsman had in its possession records from the AMLC as regards the questioned bank records.

He said that the Solicitor General would support any complaint that would be filed against Carandang for allegedly making the false claim.

"In response to your letter dated 2 October 2017, it is hereby confirmed that a statement to the effect that the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) is not the source of the documents and information attached to the Complaint of Senator Trillanes IV, and that the AMLC has not provided the Office of the Ombudsman with any report on subject accounts, was indeed issued," the AMLC letter to Calida read. —NB, GMA News
