Sting operations with fabricated evidence exists in other contexts: in some superstitious societies with the belief in witches, an elite wanting to silence a woman can plant false evidence like a particular gris-gris near her house, send a "witch investigator" to "discover" it. Similar deception can happen against a man by someone who desires his wife. Imagine the injustice... There can also be "trials by bird poisoning", where the "sorcerer" actually can control if to give water or poison to the bird for "divination".
Interestingly, in the bible there's something similar involving the apparent forced abortion of women, the bitter water ordeal (abortifacient). A man who believes or claims that his wife is pregnant from another man can ask for the "trial" to take place. The interpretation of the verses have been prone to some debates, but it may also lead to the death of the "guilty woman".
Jehovah's Witnesses are persecuted in Russia. They have stories of JWs being caught with "illegal books" then arrested, with claims that those books are planted. I'm not really sure what to believe here, it may not be impossible, considering today's Russia. But JWs are also known for their tenacity and clandestine work where it's forbidden.
In any case, here's someone accusing life-saving emergency medicine, with this type of savagery, frivolously, without evidence. I personally needed transfusions once and it saved my life, it was very close, I was in hypovolemic shock, other than in septic shock (apparently from SARS-1, but not 100% confirmed to have been that by the staff, it's what was considered plausible).
