“There is question that the prosecutors attached the document. When I signed the subpoena duces tecum, I did not question it because I gave credence to the House (of Representatives). But it now appears that, as per testimony of the PSBank president and Katipunan branch manager, there are differences with the original,” the Senate president noted.
Enrile said he was convinced that the leak did not come from the bank but likely from the team of the BSP, which conducted the audit of bank accounts classified as “politically-exposed person” (PEP), which included Chief Justice Corona.
“I am convinced that the leak did not come from the bank. They submitted it by virtue of respecting the authority of the Central Bank and the Anti-Money Laundering Council. Whether the AMLC or the BSP was the source of the leak is a conclusion that can be drawn from the questions I asked,” Enrile said in an interview prior to the start of Day 21 of the Corona trial yesterday.
The Senate president was careful in saying whether the evidence will be stricken out by the body.
