“His experience in handling those kinds of financial documents can help the committee better understand how investigators evaluate bank records alongside SALN disclosures,” he added.
Carandang served as overall deputy ombudsman from 2013 to 2019 and was among the senior officials overseeing major corruption investigations at the Office of the Ombudsman.
In 2017, it was Carandang who confirmed that the Ombudsman had obtained bank transaction records from the Anti-Money Laundering Council as part of an investigation into a plunder complaint filed by former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV against then-President Rodrigo Duterte and members of his family.
According to Ortega, such testimony from officials who have handled high-level corruption investigations would strengthen the committee’s fact-finding work.
“Financial investigations are technical. They involve examining asset declarations, financial documents and bank records. Someone with experience in conducting these investigations can help the committee understand how such evidence is evaluated,” he pointed out.
The fourth impeachment complaint against Vice President Duterte, raises allegations of graft and corruption, bribery, procurement irregularities, unexplained wealth, and omissions or misdeclarations in her SALN. /gsg
