Since Ferdinand Marcos Jr took power, seven cases related to the recovery of the Marcos family’s ill-gotten wealth have been dismissed. The Marcoses have reclaimed an estimated ₱2.3 billion worth of ill-gotten wealth linked to these cases. This has drawn condemnation by martial law victims and democratic organizations.

The latest case which the Marcoses won is related to ₱276 million worth of land and property in the Philippines and the US. The Sandiganbayan dismissed the case on October 4 due to its prolonged delay in court. The prosecution failed to pursue the case over the past 37 years.

A total of 28 criminal cases and 43 civil and forfeiture cases were filed against the Marcoses in the Sandiganbayan from 1986 to 1995.
