00:01Former Police Corporal Rodolfo Gracioso Jr. claims he delivered suitcases containing millions of pesos to Vice President Sara Duterte on
00:08different occasions.
00:09Gracioso claims this in his eight-page affidavit.
00:12But Duterte denies knowing Gracioso or receiving money from him.
00:16She says her camp is still waiting for a copy of his affidavit before considering possible legal action against him.
00:22PNP Chief Police General Jose Melenche Nartates Jr. confirmed on Monday, September 28, Gracioso used to be a policeman until
00:29he was dismissed from service.
00:31Gracioso claims he first met Duterte in 2018 at a hangar in Pasay City and traveled to a hotel in
00:37Manila.
00:38Duterte allegedly took a paper bag and ordered him to give a suitcase to Jeffrey Tupas, a former Davao City
00:43information officer.
00:45He also alleges the suitcase contained 20 million pesos cash.
00:48Gracioso says there were similar incidents like this almost 10 times from 2018 to 2020.
00:54In a statement, Duterte says,
00:56Once we are done dismantling the lies contained in his testimony, it will end up in the trash bin, just
01:01like the one from Ramil Madriaga.
01:02This is nothing more than another media stunt, an attempt to breathe life into a faltering impeachment case.
