House prosecutor Terry Ridon says the House prosecution team in Vice President Sara Z. Duterte’s impeachment case is preparing additional evidence related to assets that she allegedly did not declare in her Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs). Ridon says part of the new submission concerns properties allegedly owned by Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, that were reportedly not listed in Duterte’s SALNs for the period spanning 2007 to 2024. Ridon also says the pre-trial brief includes information on firearms that Duterte allegedly omitted from her SALNs. He cites firearms registered in Duterte’s name and reportedly owned by her and Carpio, with Ridon estimating the firearms’ value as being in the millions. According to Ridon, the prosecution team seeks an expert appraisal to determine the firearms’ actual worth, and plans to use information, including a list from the PNP Firearms Division, on firearms registered under their names. The disclosures are made as the prosecution prepares to submit its pre-trial brief before the Senate impeachment court.
