Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Council Freezes Over 100 Corruption-Related Accounts and Virtual Assets

The Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has obtained a court order to freeze over 100 financial accounts and other assets linked to a congressman and several individuals and entities. These assets are suspected to be related to corruption, plunder, and irregularities in flood control projects. The freeze includes 86 bank accounts, 4 investment accounts, 1 insurance policy, and 25 virtual asset wallets. The AMLC stated that the funds were transferred through multiple virtual asset service providers and various virtual asset wallets, complicating tracking efforts. The council has not disclosed the identities of the involved congressman and other parties.
