Deputy Ombudsman Carandang sinuspinde ng 90-araw matapos ilabas ang umano’y bank account ni DU30
SINUSPINDE ng Palasyo si Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur H. Carandang ng 90-araw matapos isiwalat ang umano’y bank account ni Pangulong Duterte.
Sa isang briefing, inihayag ni Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque na pormal nang kinasuhan ni Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea si Carandang ng grave misconduct and grave dishonesty for misuse of confidential information at disclosing false information, paglabag sa section 3-e ng Republic Act (RA) 3019 at paglabag sa section 3-k ng RA 3019 kaugnay ng section 2 Rule 5 ng OMB Administrative Order No. 7
Idinagdag ni Roque na ito’y batay na rin sa kasong inihain ng dalawang abogado na sina Atty. Manolito R. Luna at Atty. Elijio P. Mallari.
“The Office of the Executive Secretary placed under preventive suspension Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur H. Carandang for a period of 90 days effective immediately upon receipt of this order,” dagdag ni Roque.
Matatandaang si Carandang ang naghayag na iniimbestigahan si Duterte kaugnay umano’y mga bank account.
“According to the formal charge, this complaint, and the formal charge as well as the preventive suspension had to do, and I quote:With statements made by Deputy Ombudsman Carandang as follows: ‘We can confirm that we received bank transactions coming from AMLC, bank transactions generated by AMLC. Iyong billions kasi baka add-in na nila itong lahat ng transactions kasi 20 million – 20 million – 20 million – 16 million… ‘pag in-add-in siguro ‘yan, aabot ng billion. Ang dami, 40 million – 40 million – several 40 million, 200 million kaagad ito, iyong iba 50 billion ang dami,’” ayon pa kay Roque.
Ani Roque ito’y taliwas sa naging pahayag ng Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
“However, only days after—one day after Carandang said this, the AMLC issued the following statement and I quote: ‘The Anti-Money Laundering Council Secretariat received on 17 August 2017 letter of Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur H. Carandang requesting it to initiate investigation of the subject accounts.’” dagdag pa ni Roque.
