Manila, Philippines—(UPDATE) The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) denied it was investigating a state prosecutor for plunder in connection with allegations of bribery by scions of prominent families arrested in a drug bust.

In a resolution, the Court of Appeals granted the motion of AMLC to correct its records mentioning State Prosecutor John Resado in an investigation over the alleged bribes offered by Richard Brodett, Jorge Joseph and Joseph Tecson, also known as the “Alabang Boys,” to have the drug case against them dismissed.

“Wherefore premises considered, the petitioner’s manifestation and motion is hereby granted accordingly. The second paragraph of the order dated March 5, 2009 is hereby corrected,” the appeals court said through Associate Justice Myrna Dimaranan-Vidal.

The AMLC is conducting investigation on the bank accounts of Resado and his wife at the Banco De Oro-SM Bacoor branch in Cavide and his account with PSBank in Padre Faura, Manila.

The AMLC needed to determine if there was been an P800,000 deposit made on the accounts on Dec. 2 last year, the same date he recommended the dismissal of drug case against the Alabang boys.

The freeze order issued by the appeals court would lapse on April 17.
