Nag-request ng transfer sa ibang posisyon sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas ang executive director ng Anti-Money Laundering Council na si Matthew David. Si Arnold Kabanlit ang itinalagang officer-in-charge habang naghahanap ng kapalit. Nangyayari ito sa gitna ng malaking imbestigasyon sa korupsyon sa mga proyekto ng pagkontrol ng baha.

Naglabas ng pahayag ang Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) kahapon na humiling ng transfer si executive director Matthew David sa ibang posisyon sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Itinawag itong si Arnold Kabanlit bilang officer-in-charge habang naghahanap ng bagong executive director. Si David, na nahirang noong 2022, ay dating director ng Investigation and Enforcement Department ng AMLC at deputy director sa BSP’s Office of the General Counsel and Legal Services. Sa panahon ng kanyang termino, nag-freeze ang AMLC ng P27.8 bilyong halaga ng ari-arian mula sa 862 indibidwal at 648 entidad na may kaugnayan sa isyu ng korupsyon sa mga proyekto ng pagkontrol ng baha. Kabilang dito ang 7,970 bank accounts, 219 real properties, 253 motor vehicles, at 11 aircraft. Naghain na rin ang AMLC ng tatlong civil forfeiture cases sa korte ng Manila, na nagresulta sa dalawang provisional asset preservation orders mula sa Regional Trial Court. Nananatiling lihim ang ilang detalye tulad ng eksaktong petsa ng paghain at halaga ng ari-ariang nirekober. Kasabay nito, naglabas ang Department of Budget and Management ng P16.5 bilyong Notice of Cash Allocation sa Department of Public Works and Highways upang makapagbayad ng mga obligasyon at i-revive ang infrastructure spending pagkatapos ng eskandalong huminto sa mga proyekto at bumagal ang ekonomiya sa 4.4 porsyento noong nakaraang taon, ayon kay DBM Secretary Rolando Toledo.
