MANILA, Philippines—Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales on Tuesday bared the details of the $12 million “inflows” of dollar accounts that Chief Justice Renato Corona had allegedly owned in at least four banks for the past nine years.
Morales, a hostile witness of the defense team, said the total inflow for Corona’s account Number 8104 with the Bank of the Philippine Island (BPI) in Tandang Sora branch was $3, 513,348.47; $516,130.47 for account number 1842 and $1,331,501.43 with the same bank; and $2,940,850.58 in account number 2676 with the Allied Bank of Commerce.
The total inflows in the four banks were $8, 301, 830.95.
But Morales said there were “various miscellaneous accounts” in the amount of $3,853.519.91 bringing the total amount to $12, 155,350.86.
The summary of the US inflows, which she presented in a power point presentation, covered the period of April 14, 2003 to December 22, 2011.
In her testimony Monday, Morales claimed that Corona had more than $12 million “fresh deposits” which she described as accounts that “never moved” and remained in particular accounts.
