The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has announced it will request the Department of Justice (DOJ) to issue an immigration lookout bulletin against Batangas Representative Leandro Leviste and former Negros Oriental Representative Jacinto “Jing” Paras. The move comes as part of an investigation into an alleged “honey trap” plot targeting Executive Secretary Ralph Recto. The NBI, led by Director Melvin Matibag, has identified five other individuals involved in the case.
The alleged scheme reportedly involved using personal relationships to influence government decisions. The NBI is now seeking legal measures to monitor the movements of those implicated. The DOJ will determine whether to issue the immigration lookout bulletin, which would restrict the travel of the individuals outside the country.
The case has raised concerns about political integrity and the use of personal connections in public office. Authorities are expected to provide more details as the investigation progresses. The outcome could have significant implications for the individuals involved and the political landscape.
