MANILA - The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has received from the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) the bank records of Senator Leila de Lima and other personalities implicated in the New Bilibid Prison illegal drug trade, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II said Monday.

Aguirre, in an ambush interview, however said the AMLC has yet to submit its analysis of the statements of accounts and bank transactions.

"Ang sabi, iyung mga study, pagco-connect ng accounts sa ibang depositors, will come later. I don't know how long later," Aguirre
said.

(What they said is that the study that will connect bank accounts with other depositors will come later. I don't know how long later.)

Asked if he saw prima facie evidence if De Lima's accounts have unusually huge deposits, Aguirre said he has yet to look at the file
submitted by the NBI last Friday.

"Sa totoo lang, hindi ko pa nababasa... because of [BI payoff scandal] hindi ko napagtuunan," he said.
