Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV alleged before the House committee on justice that members of the Duterte family, including former president Rodrigo Duterte, Vice President Sara Duterte, and other relatives, received a total of ₱181.6 million in drug-linked funds from an alleged drug lord identified as Sammy Uy.
In an affidavit, he claimed the amounts came from encashed checks tied to Uy and may constitute impeachable offenses such as graft, corruption, and betrayal of public trust.
Trillanes also presented a breakdown of the alleged payouts among the Duterte family members and cited supposed financial transactions and bank records attached to his testimony.
He further linked Uy to former presidential economic adviser Michael Yang and alleged connections to drug-related activities, citing prior testimonies and reports.
Meanwhile, the Anti-Money Laundering Council confirmed that 18 transactions cited in Trillanes’ affidavit matched or had similar entries in its records, including some linked to the alleged payouts.
