Sen. Raffy Tulfo - Trillanes should take witness stand first ahead of AMLC | GMA News

The prosecution panel should present former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV as a witness in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte before Executive Director Ronel Buenaventura of the Anti Money Laundering Council (AMLC), Senator-judge Raffy Tulfo said Thursday. Tulfo made the manifestation since the Senate impeachment court is yet to issue a subpoena to Trillanes pending the prosecution’s decision on the sequence of presenting witnesses. “Kung kukunin na witness si former Senator Trillanes, much better mauna na muna siya bago AMLC. Kasi iyong mga sasabihin niya, may kinalaman sa mga bank accounts na nakalap niya a long time ago. Kung meron siyang ibubulgar na bank accounts, mga pera, pumasok, labas sa [bank] accounts na nakuha niya sa kanyang source. After natin makausap si Trillanes, iko-confirm ng AMLC,” Tulfo said.
