The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has reported more than 300 financial transactions involving the bank accounts of fugitive religious leader Apollo Quiboloy. Investigators suspect he is involved in large-scale cash smuggling, given the timing and size of the deposits and withdrawals.

The results of the AMLC investigation, seen by Politiko, show that Quiboloy carried out 330 “substantial” financial transactions between December 12, 2006, and February 7, 2022.

Between 2007 and 2018, the AMLC observed several large cash deposits into Quiboloy’s bank accounts, which were withdrawn the same day or in the following days.

“These funds appear to have come directly from the illegal activities of Quiboloy, his cohorts and his church,” the AMLC said, referring to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), the church founded by former President Rodrigo Duterte's spiritual adviser.
