Joel Reyes after the Sandiganbayan ordered his arrest for a graft case. In 2012, Reyes went into hiding before the issuance of an arrest warrant by the regional trial court. Reyes questioned before the CA the validity of the creation of a second panel and asked the appeals court to dismiss the case on that basis. The case went on trial while Reyes was in hiding for three years. The Reyes brothers were eventually arrested in Thailand and brought back to the country to face trial in 2015.
