The 11,000 strong rebel group, which dates back to the 1960s, aims to carve out greater autonomy in the Philippines for the Muslim minority in the South of the archipelago.
The group was cited extensively in a federal case made against Yee and dozens of other defendants last March following a four-year investigation. Yee, ironically known for his gun control legislation, was arrested then on a host of charges including plotting to smuggle guns into the country to be obtained through MILF contacts brokered by his associate, Dr. Wilson Lim .
In an affidavit unsealed last year, Yee spoke of going to the island of Mindanao, which he described as a war zone, and shooting weapons there similar to the ones he was attempting to deal.

With a pending peace treaty with the government, the group had excess weapons in its arsenal that could be bought.
