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.
Justice Secretary Leila De Lima authorized the entrapment operation.
