Atty. Dale Mordeno of Mordeno Law Office stated that bank transaction data submitted by the Anti-Money Laundering Council fails to establish illegal act or unexplained wealth on the part of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Mordeno emphasized that unlisted bank accounts represent raw transactional records that remain subject to legal clarification by defense counsel.
Addressing the use of aliases in releasing ₱125 million in confidential funds, he explained that operational pseudonyms serve standard security protocols to protect personnel.
He concluded that without establishing a predicate crime, the prosecution has failed to substantiate charges of public fund misuse under Article 1.
