Zaldy Co

Zaldy Co is a former congressman from the Philippines who resigned from the House of Representatives in September following implications in financial irregularities related to flood control projects. He is now newsworthy due to his recent arrest in Prague, Czech Republic. This arrest has revived a stalled corruption investigation in the Philippines and has increased political pressure on President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr. Co has accused Marcos of personally benefiting from a multibillion-peso kickback scheme connected to the flood control projects. Efforts are currently underway to repatriate Co to the Philippines. His arrest is considered a significant step towards accountability in a high-profile corruption case that has sparked public outrage and has the potential to impact the current political landscape.
