DOJ touts wins vs laundering, terror financing
The Philippine Star
|March 09, 2025
Citing a win for the government, the Department of Justice said it has secured seven convictions in money laundering cases from 2020 to 2024 following intensified investigation and prosecution.
DOJ deputy state prosecutor Deana Perez said the government filed 180 money laundering cases in court in 2024 alone, compared to only 25 to 30 cases recorded from 2021 to 2023.
"The rise in numbers is really exponential. We increased the number of investigations," she said at the Saturday News Forum in Quezon City.
Among the notable achievements Perez cited is the July 2024 conviction of Janet Lim Napoles in relation to her plunder charges.
Napoles was found guilty of violating the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 and was sentenced to seven to 14 years of imprisonment and ordered to pay a P16-million fine.
