Manases Carpio has initiated a perjury complaint against Antonio Trillanes IV, citing false statements made during a House hearing linked to impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Details of the Complaint
The allegations were part of a black propaganda campaign against me, and they are malicious lies.
Manases Carpio, Complainant
- Carpio filed the complaint at the Pasig City Prosecutor’s Office.
- Trillanes' testimony during the April 22 inquiry is under scrutiny.
Carpio's complaint highlights his assertion that Trillanes misrepresented information regarding bank accounts associated with him and his wife. He firmly denies any involvement with drug personalities or substantial bank accounts, asserting these claims are politically motivated.
Trillanes has chosen to withhold comment as he reviews the allegations. Under Philippine law, perjury involves intentionally providing false information while under oath.
The Pasig Prosecutor’s Office will assess the validity of the complaint to determine if there are grounds for charges against Trillanes.
