Exposing more NYC luxury properties tied to Martin Romualdez

Description

EXCLUSIVE: Our latest investigation reveals two additional New York City properties have links to former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.My assignment today is to investigate how documents, sources and new evidence ties Romualdez and his family to more US properties.Property records show that in 2025, Romualdez's business associate and fraternity brother Andrew Casino was named trustee of three additional properties at the Ritz Tower in Manhattan, just a year after Romualdez acquired a unit on behalf of his father's estate. Casino is the same lawyer who facilitated that acquisition, and another Romualdez property in Massachusetts. The new units were acquired in a similar manner that match previous luxury properties linked to Romualdez, and taken with additional evidence, raise questions over real ownership. This latest investigation brings the total number of properties linked to Romualdez, that we've found on this podcast alone, to four.Romualdez is the first cousin of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos Jr and one of his closest allies. He is one of the top government officials allegedly linked to the flood control corruption scandal, an accusation he denies. The Ombudsman is currently investigating him for money laundering, but no formal charges have been filed.Subscribe to Spotify, Apple Podcasts or via your favorite podcast app: https://onassignmentwithme.transistor.fmFollow @natashya_g on YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok, X and Facebook.Support independent journalism and this podcast: buymeacoffee.com/natashya_gTo know more about my work, go to natashyagutierrez.com#nyc #ritztower #martinromualdez #lifestylecheck #philippines #floodcontrolcorruption
