Ombudsman uncovers paper trail, bank transactions in flood control mess
The Ombudsman announced that government prosecutors have obtained bank records as crucial evidence in a significant case involving alleged corruption in flood control projects.
The Ombudsman's office is preparing to file major cases, with recent information from the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) providing vital bank records.
These bank records indicate a flow of money between accounts, suggesting suspicious financial transactions related to the alleged ghost projects.
The Ombudsman assured the public that these investigations will involve higher-ranking officials.
This development follows a recommendation from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to file charges against DPWH officials and contractors linked to five phantom flood control projects in Bulacan.
