Senator Jinggoy Estrada has faced significant legal challenges throughout his career, primarily involving corruption and graft allegations.
In 2001, Estrada and his father, Joseph Estrada, were arrested and charged with plunder. He was acquitted of those charges in 2007.
Regarding the pork barrel scam, he was charged with plunder and 11 counts of graft for allegedly misusing 183 million pesos in discretionary funds. In January 2024, he was acquitted of plunder but initially convicted of direct and indirect bribery. However, in August 2024, the Sandiganbayan reversed these bribery convictions. His 11 remaining graft cases remain active following a 2025 Supreme Court ruling that allowed them to proceed.
Most recently, in May 2026, the Department of Justice recommended filing plunder and graft charges against Estrada regarding an alleged scheme involving national flood control projects. The Office of the Ombudsman announced it is set to file these charges with the Sandiganbayan. A Manila court has issued a precautionary hold departure order against him in connection with this investigation.
