Atty. Sarmiento: Layon ng prosekusyon ipakita ang money trail at pagkakaiba o "gap" sa idineklarang yaman at financial transactions ni VP Duterte


Ngayong mga bank transaction na ang hinihimay sa impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte, inaabangan kung maibabangga ang idineklarang yaman ni Vice President Duterte sa kanyang SALN, sa kanyang mga financial transaction base sa datos ng AMLC at mga bangko. Pero ayon sa isang legal expert, depende pa rin sa mga senator judge kung paano titimbangin ang ebidensya.

00:00Ngayon po mga bank transaction na ang hihimay sa impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:05inaabangan kung maibabangga ang idineklarang yaman ni Vice President Duterte sa kanyang salin
00:10sa kanyang mga financial transaction base sa datos ng AMLC at mga banko.
00:16Pero ayon po sa isang legal expert, depende pa rin sa mga Senator Judge kung paano titimbangin ang ebidensya.
00:22Narito ang aking report.
00:27Sa pagtutol ng lipensa sa pagtistigo ng Anti-Money Laundering Council,
00:31Executive Director Ronald Buenaventura ipinuntok ang Section 8A ng Anti-Money Laundering Act.
00:37Sa paliwanag ni Atty. Ralph Sarmiento, Constitutional Law Professor ng University of St. La Salle sa Bacolod,
00:43sa ilalim ng Section 8A, kailangang protektahan ng mga opisyal ng AMLC ang confidentiality ng kanilang mga record.
00:49Pero ibang usapan ang niya kung korte ang humihingi ng informasyon para sa lehitimong proseso.
00:56If you will be compelled by a subpena, so technically pwede po yan.
01:00Kasi yung paragraph 2 po of the same section also says na the AMLC shall issue or shall promulgate rules
01:08regarding,
01:09and then yung last part po nun, regarding access to the information.
01:15So meaning to say the law itself allows access to the information.
01:18And then besides po, we must also realize na the AMLC can also cause the filing of complaints.
01:25So if it can cause the filing of complaints, it means to say it can reveal or it can present
01:32its records before a proper court.
01:36Sa pananaw ni Atty. Sarmiento, ngayong hinihimay na ang bank transactions sa impeachment trial,
01:41layo ng prosekusyon na ipakita ang money trail.
01:43At ang pagkakaiba sa itiniklarang yaman na vice-presidente sa kanyang salen at sa mga financial transaction niya,
01:50batay sa datos ng AMLC at mga banko.
01:53So under the rules and evidence, that might create a prima facie evidence of unexplained wealth.
01:59So necessarily, on the part of the defense, they might question the existence, authenticity of all those records,
02:06and whether those records actually parang present the actual financial standing or figure
02:16that is in the possession or hand of the UCAS flow ng vice-president.
02:21And then ultimately, they will have to establish bucket make-up between your actual financial transactions
02:31and yung declared na wealth mo under the salen.
02:34Dagdag ni Atty. Sarmiento kapag nailatag ng mga ebidensya.
02:38Sa huli, nakasalalay sa mga senator-judge ang pagtimbang sa mga ito.
02:42Hindi po nasabi sa Constitution natin kung ano po yung talagang threshold,
02:47whether it is proof beyond reasonable doubt or substantial evidence or clear and convincing evidence.
02:53Pero, so technically po, there will be a leeway on the part of the senator-judge
02:58just to evaluate whether they believe na the evidence presented is prima facie enough,
03:04substantial or clear and convincing enough for them to convict.
03:07Isa pang tinalakay sa impeachment trial,
03:09ang pahayag ng tagapagsalita ng impeachment court na si Atty. Reggie Tunggol,
03:13na posibleng sa December 16 raw ay may hato na kay Vice President Duterte.
03:18Sabi ng presiding officer, Cheese Escudero,
03:20ang basihan ni Tunggol ay simple ang komputasyon batay sa hinihinging trial days na magkabilang panig.
03:26Pero hindi pa rin yan ikinatuan ni Sen. Judge Rafi Tufo.
03:29The court will instruct the spokesperson accordingly.
03:34Yeah, maybe it's about time na para i-admonish niya siya, Mr. President Officer.
03:39Kung magka inuunahan niya tayo, piniprimp niya tayo.
03:41Hindi po ito dapat na tingnan na bilang deadline para sa ating impeachment court.
03:46Ang ebidensya po ay hindi susunod dun sa kalendaryo.
03:49Yung kalendaryo yung susunod sa ebidensya.
03:52Paliwanag ni Atty. Sarmiento,
03:54hindi naman mali o unethical na maglabas ng tansyang pagtatapos ng trial
03:58batay sa hinihinging bilang ng araw ng prosibusyon at ipensa para sa kanika nilang presentasyon.
04:04Ginagawa raw yan kahit sa regular na korte.
