A financial forensic analyst testifies in the Senate impeachment proceedings that Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases “Mans” Carpio, have unexplained wealth and allegedly failed to declare assets worth about P817.87 million in their statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth. The witness says the figure covers undisclosed cash, properties, and income, based on comparisons and forensic analysis.
Duterte’s camp responds that it will dispute the claim and plans to present its own expert to contradict the prosecution witness. The differing accounts centre on whether the questioned sums were properly declared and how the analyst derived the alleged undeclared wealth. The testimony and the counter-position set up a further evidentiary exchange as the impeachment case continues in the Senate.
