Prosecutors are scrutinizing the statements of assets, liabilities, and net worth of Sara Duterte and her husband to determine if their declared wealth is consistent with their financial dealings. The AMLC noted that while suspicious transaction reports are a compliance measure, they require further analysis to legally determine if illegal activity occurred.
