Agency lawyer says prosecutor twisted story |

alleged bribery attempt in a celebrated drugs case seemed to have

Lazaro, a lawyer from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA),
had attempted to bribe him in exchange for his dismissal of
drug-trafficking charges against the “Alabang Boys”—three rich
young men entrapped by the agency in September 2008.
