Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte's Impeachment Trial Focuses on Wealth Allegations
The impeachment trial of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte focuses on allegations of unexplained wealth linked to her asset declarations. Prosecutors withdrew three of four charges to concentrate on her financial interests, presenting testimony from officials and a forensic analyst estimating over 800 million pesos in unexplained assets. Duterte denies wrongdoing, calling the trial political harassment. Her defense has begun presenting witnesses to counter prosecution claims, aiming to conclude the trial by year-end. Conviction requires at least 14 of 24 senators' votes due to absences.
