MANILA, Philippines — “It might be fatal to the case if we do not see the official bank accounts of Sara Duterte,” former Ateneo School of Government Dean Tony La Viña said on Saturday, adding that the bank accounts could decide the outcome of the Vice President’s trial starting on July 6.

“[But] there are two obstacles: the impeachment court and the Supreme Court, because she would surely appeal to the Supreme Court,” he said in a forum at the University of the Philippines Diliman.

The forum on impeachment, corruption and accountability was organized by Taumbayan Ayaw sa Magnanakaw at Abusado Network Alliance (Tama Na).
