BREAKING NEWS: Lawyers’ group to file sedition case vs Antonio Trillanes! Sa kulungan na nga ba ang bagsak ng senador?

The group also claimed Trillanes violated the Anti-Money Laundering law by divulging “erroneous” details on Duterte’s bank transactions without permission from the agency or from any court, in contravention of the Bank Secrecy Law.

Paras led lawyers Manuelito Luna, Glenn Chong, Eligio Mallari and Nasser Marohomsalic in declaring their intention to file charges of inciting to sedition and proposal to commit coup d’etat against Trillanes in his privilege speech.

A group of pro-administration lawyers led by former Negros Oriental congressman Jacinto Paras is set to file multiple criminal charges against Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV for allegedly inciting the military to oust and kill President Duterte.

Trillanes brushed off the threats, saying the charges stemmed from his privilege speech last Oct. 4.

“Trillanes is inciting the military to kill the President because the ill-gotten wealth was not proven. He even said M-60 machine guns should be used to kill the President because if ordinary guns would be used, these will run out of bullets,” Paras told a press conference in Quezon City.

“If you used your speech to commit a crime especially against the government, you can be charged with inciting to sedition (and) proposal to commit coup d’etat... If you attempt to cause the public to hate the president or endanger him, that’s already inciting to sedition. He has crossed the line,” Luna said.

“No matter how absurd these cases may seem, I actually welcome them because, as part of my legal defense, I would be able to prove my claim on Duterte’s ill-gotten wealth,” Trillanes said. 

“Specifically, I would be able to ask the court to subpoena his bank documents as an exemption to the Bank Secrecy Law,” he added.
Paras was referring to Trillanes’ privilege speech, in which the senator claimed Duterte’s bank transactions amount to about P2 billion.

Furthermore, Atty. Manuelito Luna said they would also file charges of proposal to commit coup d'etat, violation of Section 3(e) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and violation of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, and a possible ethics complaint.

Attorney Nasser Marohomsalic, meanwhile, said Trillanes should first understand that the harsh rhetoric of Duterte before criticizing his style of governance.

"Kung ano-ano sinasabi niya sa presidente. Hindi niya naiintindihan kung ano ibig sabihin ng leadership. The president should be given leeway in his leadership style. Si Trillanes puro si presidente inaatupag niya," Marohomsalic said.

Trillanes was reacting to a speech made by Duterte where he said anybody can shoot him if it could be proven that his lifetime savings exceeded P40 million.

“I promise you now, in front of the soldiers and everybody... Sinasabi ko sa inyo: You can shoot me if it exceeds P40 million. Lifetime na iyang savings ko. Hindi sosobra diyan. Sigurado ako,” Duterte said in his speech.
