“The Marcos family "had nothing left" as "everything was taken away from [them] when they were flown to exile in Hawaii in 1986.”
What Vera Files found
The United States Customs Services confiscated sets of jewelry, valued between $436,420 and $559,630 by Christie’s auction house in 1991, which the Marcoses brought to Honolulu in 1986. The Marcoses brought over P397-million worth of bank certificates, now deemed as ill-gotten wealth following a 2021 Sandiganbayan ruling ordering their return to the Philippine government.
