Ex-Philippine President Duterte Faces New Plunder Allegations

Former senator files criminal complaint accusing Duterte and aide of awarding $114M in contracts to cronies

The lawsuit alleges Duterte conspired with aide Christopher Go to steer contracts to Go's family companies.
The contracts, awarded from 2007 to 2018, were worth at least 6.6 billion pesos ($114 million).
Duterte and Go have previously denied any wrongdoing in office.
The case adds to Duterte's legal challenges, including an ICC investigation into his anti-drug campaign.
Government prosecutors will investigate before deciding on potential indictments.
