Former DOJ Secretary Raul Gonzales denied the allegations of Sen. Ping Lacson involving him that he received a “goodwill money’ from a businessman. According to Sen. Lacson, the businessman allegedly tried to gather evidence against his sibling over a case pending with the Presidential Commission on Good Government, which is under the DOJ. He said that the businessman’s sibling met Gonzalez and gave “goodwill money” for supposedly interfering with the case. Lacson also revealed that he has information on how much Gonzalez allegedly received from the businessman’s sibling and added a bigger amount would be paid if he succeeded in pinning down the tycoon. Meanwhile, Gonzales defended the said allegations and said that the businessman’s sibling talked to him and told them that the case is with the SandiganBayan and not with PCGG and he never interfered with the said case.
