The NBI conducted the entrapment operation upon the request of the National Union of People’s Lawyers (NUPL). The NUPL made the request after its client, Montes, who is one of the so-called Morong 43, reported that the prosecutor was asking P80,000 in exchange for a favorable ruling in an unjust vexation case filed by a retired military chaplain.<\/p>\n
Justice Secretary Leila De Lima authorized the entrapment operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said it before and I will say it again: at the risk of causing occasional embarrassment to us as an institution, I don\u2019t mind authorizing such entrapment operations even on a regular basis if only to rid our ranks with misfits and scalawags,\u201d De Lima said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIntegrity should be and ought to be our bedrock, and is still the best and only policy, especially on the part of our frontline service providers such as prosecutors,\u201d De Lima added<\/p>\n
The prosecutor who is currently detained at the NBI will be facing cases for violation of Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-graft and Corrupt Practices Act and Article 210 of the Revised Penal Code for Indirect Bribery.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
