Philippine Court Freezes Crypto Wallets in Corruption Probe
A Philippine Court of Appeals has frozen 25 virtual-asset wallets linked to a lawmaker and related parties as part of an investigation into alleged corruption in flood-control projects and the misappropriation of public funds.
The order also covers 86 bank accounts, four investment accounts, and one insurance policy.
The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) stated that funds moved through virtual-asset service providers and multiple wallets, then among recipients and through different financial channels.
The freeze preserves assets during the investigation and does not establish that anyone has been convicted.
