The Inquirer tried but failed to get a comment from Ombudsman officials. It said it was not the source of the bank transaction documents that Carandang had allegedly released to the media. ADVERTISEMENTThe President later ordered Carandang suspended for 90 days, but then Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales refused to enforce it, citing a Supreme Court ruling. Then Ombudsman Morales inhibited herself from the inquiry, as the President’s daughter Sara is married to her nephew. But these records were used by the AMLC and the Ombudsman for intelligence-sharing purposes, according to Carandang.
