The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has confirmed that it has not received any formal request from the International Criminal Court (ICC) to freeze the financial assets of former President Rodrigo Duterte. This follows ongoing proceedings at the ICC, where Duterte faces allegations of crimes against humanity.
According to the ICC, asset freezing can be ordered after a conviction, with the funds potentially allocated for victim reparations. However, as of now, no official request has been made to the AMLC regarding Duterte’s assets.
Meanwhile, Malacañang has clarified that any decision regarding asset freezing will be left to the AMLC’s discretion, emphasizing the council’s mandate in handling such matters.
