Manila - A bank account allegedly owned by former Philippines president Mr Joseph Estrada was drained of its total deposits of more than three billion pesos ($62.5 million) before he was ousted, bank records unsealed yesterday showed.
Senators opened the records and then handed them over to the government Ombudsman, who is investigating Mr Estrada for alleged economic plunder - an offence punishable by death - and for perjury, bribery and corruption.
