The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) testifies before the Sandiganbayan regarding former House Speaker Martin Romualdez’s bank transactions, saying it cannot trace cash inflows to flood-control-related sources. Multiple reports cite AMLC testimony that remittances involving Romualdez’s accounts are not tied to transactions involving the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), contractors, or former lawmaker Zaldy Co.
In parallel, one outlet reports that the AMLC takes further legal action by filing a civil forfeiture case covering Romualdez’s bank accounts and previously seeking a freeze order on those accounts. Another outlet similarly highlights that AMLC investigators report no contractor or DPWH-related bank records connected to the remittances.
Across coverage, the figures and timelines cited are consistent in the descriptions provided: the remittances amount to P560.5 million and span from June 2022 to September 2025 (or described more generally as 2022 to 2025). The primary variation is whether outlets foreground the civil forfeiture filing and freeze-order step or focus on the lack of traceability to specific funding sources.
