Trillanes files plunder raps against Duterte, Go before DoJ
MANILA, Philippines —Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV arrived at the Department of Justice on Friday to file plunder charges against former president Rodrigo Duterte and Sen. Christopher Go. The charges were in violation of Republic Act 7080, which defines plunder as amassing at least P50 million through a series of criminal acts. Such theft is a severe crime, disqualifying the perpetrator from holding public office, according to the law. In an interview earlier on Friday with The Manila Times, Trillanes said the former president and Go, a trusted aide, were linked to P6.6 billion in anomalous projects in Davao from 2007-2019, the period when Duterte served as mayor and later as president of the Philippines.
