AMLC: Zaldy Co got P802-M deposits from Sunwest in malversation case

In the ongoing malversation case against former lawmaker Zaldy Co over anomalous flood control contracts involving Sunwest Incorporated, the prosecution wrapped up its presentation on April 7, 2026, at the Sandiganbayan with Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) testimony revealing P802 million in bank deposits to Co from Sunwest—evidence tying him as its beneficial owner.

The testimony before the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court in Manila bolsters prosecutors' claims of Co's role in the disputed contracts, which previously led to arrest warrants for him and 17 others in November 2025 over a P289.5-million project in Oriental Mindoro.

Rappler's Jairo Bolledo reported from the court. Co's camp has not immediately responded to this development.

This is part of ongoing coverage of the Zaldy Co-Sunwest flood control case.

Authorities seized eight luxury vehicles linked to former Rep. Elizaldy Co from a condominium parking area in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, on Thursday night, January 8. The action followed a court-issued search warrant due to missing import documentation and unpaid duties, as flagged by the Bureau of Customs. The vehicles, including a Rolls Royce and Escalade, were registered under companies and individuals connected to Co.

The Department of Justice announced that three flood control cases against SYMS Construction Trading and former DPWH officials have been transferred to Quezon City Regional Trial Court branches.
