The Comelec said the US government had sought its help in the money laundering case the latter filed against former poll chief Andy Bautista.
MANILA — The Commission on Elections said Wednesday the United States government had sought its help in the money laundering case the latter filed against former poll chief Andy Bautista.
"In fact, they asked us for some documents and they even asked us to interview certain people from the commission," he said. Media reports said the US government sued Bautista for money laundering and conspiracy after his estranged wife Patricia Paz Bautista flagged his alleged ill-gotten wealth worth P1 billion.
Winning a bid in the Philippines "is never solely one individual's preference or decision," it also pointed out.
