Paolo Duterte's libel complaint against Trillanes
Former Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte and his brother-in-law Attorney Mans Carpio have filed separate complaints for libel against Senator Antonio Trillanes IV for claims that they extorted money from ride-sharing firm Uber and other firms.
Paolo is President Rodrigo Duterte's son while Carpio is a presidential son-in-law, the husband of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
Paolo's complaint, received by Assistant Regional Prosecutor Karl Andre Salcedo of the Davao City Office of the Special Prosecutor, was dated September 6 or just two days after President Duterte issued Proclamation 572 which voids the amnesty granted to Trillanes eight years ago for the Senator's involvement in two failed instances of mutiny.
Below is the full text of Paolo's libel complaint.
