The Sandiganbayan has dismissed the remaining ill-gotten wealth claims filed by the government against the Marcos family, ending unresolved portions of a decades-old recovery case.
In a resolution dated June 2, 2026, the anti-graft court’s Special Division terminated the remaining proceedings in Civil Case No. 0141 after the Presidential Commission on Good Government informed the court that it would no longer present additional evidence.
The court noted that several properties and assets at issue in the case had already been recovered through separate civil actions and earlier partial judgments.
Records showed that the government had previously won forfeiture rulings involving more than $658 million in Swiss bank deposits, other funds, real properties, shares of stock, interests connected to the Arelma accounts, the Malacañang Jewelry Collection, and proceeds from the sale of paintings and artworks worth $17 million.
In a manifestation filed on May 12, 2026, the government said it would no longer submit further evidence on the remaining assets not covered by the earlier partial summary judgments.
The unresolved allegations in the case involved supposed Marcos family bank deposits in Luxembourg, Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands, and the United States, as well as shares of stock in several companies and other assets.
The Sandiganbayan said the government’s manifestation and the lack of evidence on the remaining claims warranted the termination of the proceedings involving portions of the case that were not included in the four partial summary judgments.
The resolution was signed by Associate Justices Bayani Jacinto, Maryann Corpus-Mañalac, and Juliet Manalo-San Gaspar.
