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.

Senator Jinggoy Estrada posted bail on May 29 after an arrest warrant was issued in a graft case linked to flood control projects. The Sandiganbayan Second Division set the amount at P90,000. Hearings on the scandal are set to resume on June 4.

The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has filed 12 civil forfeiture petitions with the Regional Trial Court over alleged anomalies in flood control projects. This marks a sharp increase from the initial three cases disclosed last month, with the court issuing 11 provisional asset preservation orders. The AMLC plans to file more petitions in the coming days.
