Manases Carpio filed criminal complaints before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office against several lawmakers, central bank officials, and Anti-Money Laundering Council officers for allegedly violating bank secrecy and data privacy laws.
The complaint stems from the public disclosure of alleged P6.7 billion in bank transactions linked to Carpio and Sara Duterte during a congressional hearing.
Among those named were Eli Remolona Jr. and AMLC Executive Director Ronel Buenaventura, along with several lawmakers who denied wrongdoing and maintained their actions were within legal bounds.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said it would respond through proper legal channels, while Malacañang emphasized that the matter will be decided by the courts.
Lawmakers also urged Duterte’s camp to address the allegations in the ongoing impeachment proceedings rather than file complaints.
The case highlights tensions over transparency and confidentiality in high-profile investigations involving public officials.
