AMLC secures freeze order on over 100 financial accounts linked to corruption, flood control anomalies

MANILA, Philippines — The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has secured a Court of Appeals (CA) freeze order covering more than 100 financial accounts and virtual asset wallets linked to a prominent lawmaker, a corporation, and several individuals and entities allegedly involved in corruption and anomalies in flood control projects.

In a statement dated Oct. 1, 2026, the AMLC said the CA issued the freeze order in a resolution dated Sept. 21 after finding probable cause that the assets were related to plunder under Republic Act 7080, or the Plunder Law.

The order covers 86 bank accounts, four investment accounts, one insurance policy, and 25 virtual asset wallets.
