After more than a decade in the judicial mill, Arroyo's former justice secretary survives the 'Two-Million Dollar Man' saga.

The Supreme Court has cleared former justice secretary Hernani"Nani" Perez of falsification of documents charge that was rooted from the 2000s scandal of allegedly extorting $2 million in exchange for political favors during the transition from Joseph Estrada to Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.– including graft and extortion – in 2014, but Ombudsman prosecutors appealed to the Supreme Court.

"The Sandiganbayan did not err in refusing to give probative value to these documentary and testimonial evidence presented by the prosecution," the unsigned First Division resolution said.
