2018 drug smuggling case implicates Paolo Duterte, Mans Carpio, Michael Yang involving P11-billion shabu shipment in House of Representatives quad committee probe.

Former customs officer Jimmy Guban accused Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte, Vice President Sara Duterte's husband Mans Carpio, and former presidential economic adviser Michael Yang of involvement in the 2018 drug smuggling case involving a P11-billion shabu shipment. Guban revealed this information during the House of Representatives' quad committee investigating alleged links between Philippine offshore gaming operators, the illegal drug trade, and extrajudicial killings tied to the Duterte administration's "war on drugs." Davao City Rep. Duterte strongly denied any connection with Guban, dismissing allegations as "lies of great magnitude" without evidence. Yang is currently the subject of an arrest and detention order, and Guban described him as a "big-time importer of drugs."
