Trillanes denies $2 million bribe from Co for ICCFormer senator Antonio Trillanes IV talks to media in front of the Department of Justice in this photo from July 2024. He also claimed that ICC investigators interviewed witnesses endorsed by Trillanes. Asked whether ICC investigators conducted activities in the Philippines in 2023, Trillanes declined to give details, saying the matter is highly confidential. “What they (ICC investigators) did was to interview witnesses sent to them by Sonny Trillanes, they did not interview any other witnesses but only people who were only sent by Sonny Trillanes. The funds were given to Sonny Trillanes to take care of these ICC investigators, that’s why all the vehicles used, all the hotel accommodations, were paid for by Zaldy Co and Sonny Trillanes,” Baligod added.
